Mission We provide an excellent education that enables all students to achieve academic success and reach their full potential. We prepare our students to be responsible, contributing members of our community and wise stewards of our natural environment. Vision Our learning community inspires, engages, and empowers students to become lifelong learners and productive global citizens Recognized and respected at both the state and national levels, the Mill Valley School District has developed a reputation for its ability to create exceptional learning programs. Teachers are given the academic freedom and support to create higher level learning activities and projects, designed to challenge the “whole child”. The Mill Valley School District is located 8 miles north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County, California. The district has 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school with an enrollment of approximately 3,250 students in grades K through 8. Four of the schools are located within the City of Mill Valley, while two are located in the adjacent unincorporated areas of Strawberry Point and Tamalpais Valley. The District also includes the unincorporated communities of Alto, Almonte, Homestead Valley, and Muir Beach. The community has been rated as one of the top 20 best small towns in America by Smithsonian magazine.
