Martin Luther King Jr. Academy is located on a sunny 11-acre site in Marin City. Construction has begun and we are anxiously awaiting the completion of a new 21,621-square-foot, two-story facility slated for completion Spring of 2009. The new school will be comprised of six classrooms, a science lab, a large multipurpose room, and administrative offices.
We recognize today's society as multicultural and global, the families in our community represent a cross section of socio-economic levels and our staff and faculty celebrate the rich cultural diversity of our student population.
Recognizing literacy is vital to individual empowerment; our interdisciplinary curriculum is standards-based, student centered active learning in a physically and emotionally safe atmosphere to promote the maximum growth and achievement for each student. Our commitment to high educational standards provides clear and concise goals, preparing our young learners to continue on into higher education and become leaders in the new millennium through an educational system characterized by state-of-the-art technology programs.
We offer our students a comprehensive after school program facilitated by Youth in Arts, which has been providing arts education to students in the Bay Area since 1970. Our Twilight After School Program offers quality instruction in visual and performing arts, literacy and recreational sports.
Preparing our student body to embark on a lifelong quest for learning and achievement, our faculty and staff is extremely qualified, professionally skilled and dedicated to academic excellence. We offer students of MLK Jr. Academy leadership and support in a nurturing environment through which students can learn and are challenged to achieve their highest potential.
