Almost two decades ago, a community of like-minded parents gathered around a kitchen table in Mill Valley, California, and dedicated themselves to providing the best possible education for their children. Today, Greenwood School a robust, preschool and K — 8 school community thrives in the heart of Mill Valley, ten minutes north of San Francisco.

Learning is indeed a lifelong enterprise and the preschool, kindergarten, elementary, and middle-school children of Greenwood School begin their educational journey in an environment that nurtures, inspires, and prepares them for the challenging road ahead.

Our rigorously trained teachers are committed to academic excellence and to addressing the emotional, intellectual, and physical needs and capabilities of your children at each crucial stage of their development.
 
Academics, integrated arts, and engaging specialty subjects combine in a multidisciplinary, Waldorf-inspired curriculum that enables students not simply to learn, but to experience and internalize what they learn, education from within. Children emerge from their years at Greenwood prepared, aware of their own capabilities, happy, enthusiastic, and fully engaged with the world in which they live. Graduates have attended a wide range of Bay Area high schools as well as colleges and universities as diverse as UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, Stanford, Oberlin, Haverford, MIT, NYU, Rhode Island School of Design, University of Vermont, and the University of Washington.

We invite you to explore our school community starting with this website. Please also join us at the Winter Fair or one of our seasonal festivals, attend an open house and school tour, or ask to be connected to a Greenwood family who will be willing to answer your questions. Welcome to Greenwood School.
