About Us

We are excited to offer several alternative programs for students and families who are seeking a smaller setting with a higher staff-to-student ratio, personalized learning, and increased supports so that students we help prepare for college, career, and life. As we challenge the traditional identity of alternative education programs, we encourage referrals earlier for students who would benefit from the programs we have here. We serve youth from all across Marin County. We are committed to ensuring every student gets the resources and opportunities they need to fulfill our mission of students following their passions to lead purposeful lives.

Our Instructional Model

Marin’s Community School (MCS) is a 5-day, full day program (see our bell schedule here). At MCS, we are re-imagining alternative schooling to close opportunity gaps and better prepare students for a future that we can only begin to imagine. Our world is filled with opportunities and problems for our students to solve, and we believe our students are capable of working towards solutions today.

We begin our planning process by listening to our students and community members to create learning experiences where students make meaningful impacts on their communities. Through the process, they build relationships, learn essential skills and knowledge, and most importantly, develop a belief that they can make the world a better place.

What is Alternative Education?

The Alternative Education Department for the Marin County Office of Education offers alternative programs for students and families within Marin County. MCOE's alternative education programs include: the Marin's Community School (MCS), Phoenix Academy which operates in tandem with MCS, Oracle Independent Study and Loma Alta hosted at the Marin County Juvenile Hall. 

All our programs focus on supporting students in their academics (attendance, credits, learning loss, smaller class size, etc.) as well as focusing on their socio-emotional needs that prevents them from being successful in and out of school.  

For more information about our various program offerings, please visit our Alternative Education page.
