Environmental Education
Strawberry Point School offers an engaging and inspiring environment for students. Uniqueness and differences are respected, and all children are supported to reach their full potential. When our students head off to Middle School they do so with an emerging sense of self, of social responsibility, and a passion for learning.
Located in the Strawberry section of Mill Valley and within walking distance of San Francisco Bay, our community is also shaped by an overarching commitment to the environment. Unique to the Mill Valley School District, Strawberry Point is the only school with natural bay wetlands on the school grounds. We nurture this invaluable natural resource as a living, outdoor classroom. In addition to the science of wetland ecology, students learn a variety of subjects within an ecological context designed to instill an appreciation for nature and the environment and develop a commitment to working toward a more sustainable world
