Marvelwood delivers a transformative educational experience for students seeking challenge, inspiration, and affirmation.

We are a welcoming and friendly school community, intentionally sized to facilitate close connections and an atmosphere of personal warmth.

We offer a customized educational experience, responsive to student interests, actively engaging their curiosity.

You can succeed here because you can be you here.

Come as you are or become who you want. Either way, we want you to just be you. Our students experience the freedom to be who they are, and they love it. We have something special here and it’s a culture of teens who demonstrate unwavering kindness, acceptance, forgiveness, and loyalty to one another. For our students it’s simply life at Marvelwood. For the adults who witness it, it’s awe-inspiring.

Who benefits from a small school experience? Everyone.

Some call our school small; we call it transformative. Our founders established Marvelwood as a small school for students who may not have thrived in a larger school setting. It’s our size that allows us to create “Marvelwood Magic”. It allows us to know our students—to really know their intricacies and interests—so that we may create individual approaches to their learning that will most deeply resonate, inspire, and engage. Our small school? It happens to make a very large impact on our students.
