Step 1
Campus tour
Visit our campus, see our classrooms in action, and get a feel for the MTS community in person.
Welcome
Welcome to Mount Tamalpais School!
We look forward to sharing MTS with you through campus tours and events that showcase our program and community. Three aspects of MTS that you'll always see in action are continuous joy, unparalleled learning, and exceptional educators. Our mission statement, “Learning is revered, and education is joyful” says it all.
Every family who walks through our doors becomes part of a community that leads with kindness and honors childhood, and we mean that in the smallest daily moments as much as the big ones. Whether you're just starting to explore independent schools or you’ve already seen MTS in action, we want this process to feel welcoming, not overwhelming.
We can't wait for you to experience MTS. Most of all, we can't wait to get to know your family.
Warmly,
Amy Pearson & Juliana Block
