Marshall School is an independent, college-preparatory day school for students in grades five through twelve. A Marshall education encourages students to develop strong academic habits; an ethical framework for responsible decision making; respect for self, others, and for property; and a commitment to bettering the world.

Philosophy

To ensure the success of its mission, Marshall School is committed to supporting and nurturing...

	Students as confident and independent thinkers with the skills needed to learn and to achieve -- now, in college, and throughout their lives.
	Teachers whose enthusiasm and energy for their subject sparks young people to learn and whose sense of caring enriches the school.
	Parents in their partnership with the school and their children.
	Class sizes that permit active participation, frequent feedback, and engagement in the rigor of a liberal arts curriculum.
	An atmosphere where challenging but attainable goals are set by each individual and where the exploration of new interests and talents is encouraged.
	An appreciation for each person’s unique human qualities in a community which reflects kindness, integrity, and respect.

In keeping with the tenets of its philosophy, Marshall School is committed to the following goals:

	Well educated graduates capable of succeeding in life.
	Mastery of academic skills and competencies in a variety of academic disciplines
	Development of intellectual habits to sustain lifelong learning
	Awareness of global interdependency and the obligations of citizenship
	Appreciation for the ways that a healthy mind, body, and spirit work together in an educated and productive person.
