Filosofía de la Escuela/School Philosophy

Marin Preparatory School offers children and their families a developmental, experiential, integrated curriculum emphasizing academic excellence and cross-cultural learning, framed around a Spanish infusion program.

Language infusion is a blending of the language immersion process (teaching and speaking to children, exclusively in the second language) and traditional language instruction. Infusion allows for strong growth in all academic areas while providing an exposure to and mastery of the second language in a natural, stress-free manner.

Because a Spanish-infused program allows for flexibility, children receive the benefits of exposure to various language-learning experiences. At Marin Preparatory, Spanish is not a separate subject, but one that is part of the student’s everyday school activities. By integrating Spanish as a daily experience, it becomes an integral part of a child’s social and cognitive development.
