Chase your curiosity. Discover your people.
At Marvelwood, our clubs and activities aren’t mere résumé boosters. They’re opportunities to spread your wings, make your mark, and discover what lights you up.
With more than 40 clubs and activities to choose from, there are endless ways to get involved. By graduation, our students haven’t just filled their schedules; they’ve unearthed new passions, built community, and learned how to turn ideas into action.

By the students, for the students
Students lead, collaborate, and build community around their interests. Our culture of camaraderie creates a safe space to try new things. In our intimate environment, your voice can be heard like never before. Whether you’re drawn to the arts, leadership, service, gaming, wellness, or outdoor adventure, you can find—or create—what inspires you.
“Trying ceramics didn’t feel like a huge, intimidating leap because it was with someone I already knew well. It wasn’t some pretentious art class. I tried it, wasn’t great at it, and that was okay. The comfort and trust here make it easier to try new things.”
- Marvelwood Senior
Engagement is the expectationThere’s no sitting on the sidelines at Marvelwood. Our structure is primed for students to be bold, discover new talents, grow in unexpected ways, and achieve readiness for their future. Beyond fun and friendship, getting involved builds confidence, leadership, and a sense of belonging.

Student Government: The Heartbeat of Marvelwood
Whether you run for elected office or not, your voice matters here.
Each student has meaningful opportunities to shape the experience of school life. Those who choose to run for student government are elected by their peers as representatives who serve as a bridge between students and school leadership. They gather feedback, share ideas, and help bring to life new initiatives and activities that otherwise wouldn’t exist.
From planning traditions and events to providing input on policies, schedules, and campus life, student leaders help ensure that the student experience reflects the needs and perspectives of the community. Their work—and their enthusiasm—strengthens a culture where every individual is encouraged, not only to participate, but to make a difference.
 | Community and CamaraderieBringing community together with clubs and activities. Clubs and activities also shape some of Marvelwood’s most beloved experiences, like Music on the Mountain—an open-mic event that showcases student and faculty performances six times throughout the year. These moments bring our community together and give students a chance to celebrate culture, creativity, and connection. |
