Inspiring Minds & Nurturing Hearts

Welcome to Lagunitas Community School.

Nestled in the heart of the San Geronimo Valley, Lagunitas Community School is a small but mighty public TK–8 school where learning is rooted in creativity, connection, and care. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of open space and shaped by a long tradition of family and community involvement, we offer a learning experience that honors the whole child.

As a vibrant community school, we embrace the belief that learning happens everywhere—at school, at home, and beyond. Our students grow through interdisciplinary projects, multi-age mentorship, hands-on academics, and deep connections to the arts, nature, and each other. With the support of dedicated educators, family volunteers, and a close partnership with the San Geronimo Valley Community Center, we create a joyful, inclusive space where every child is seen, supported, and inspired to thrive.

We invite you to explore what makes Lagunitas a truly unique place to learn, grow, and belong.
