Here at Marvelwood, we do what’s best for each one of our students. We celebrate what it means to be an individual, and have designed our school to be support-based so everyone succeeds. Our intentionally small community develops students into confident learners beyond the classroom. From the moment a student first arrives, to the day they graduate, they hold an important role in our community.
What makes Marvelwood unique?
ALL-SCHOOL MEETINGS
On Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Marvelwood gathers as a community for All-School Meeting. All students and faculty attend! These meetings range from celebrating holidays, student and faculty recognition, student presentations, important announcements, and more.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
On Wednesday mornings, Marvelwood students foster awareness, compassion and respect by volunteering in community service. Over the years, we have developed a network of more than 20 service organizations on and off campus. Students choose from a variety of projects with a blend of hands-on labor with professional pursuits. As they work, students become aware of the world outside the classroom, recognize their individual skills and talents, and see how those talents can have a positive impact on those around them.
SUPPORT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Students at Marvelwood have a customized curriculum that lends to their varying skill sets and learning styles. We believe that it is not memorization, but rather understanding and inquiry that will support our students throughout a lifetime of learning and discovery. Students also have a faculty advisor to assist not only with academics, but all the changing needs of adolescents. As a community, we strive to educate the whole student and understand the value of providing students with knowledge, guidance, and support to make informed, educated life choices.
UNIQUE PROGRAMMING
With over 90 courses available to choose from at Marvelwood, we pride ourselves at having something for everyone, and even more importantly, a range of opportunities that allow our students to discover their passions. We take great pride in offering a curriculum that 'breaths' with our students' needs, and because of this, many of our courses have grown to become hallmarks of our unique and ever-changing curriculum.
