Bolinas-Stinson Elementary

Tucked along the rugged Marin coastline, Bolinas-Stinson Elementary serves the tight-knit communities of Bolinas and Stinson Beach — two of the most beautifully remote towns in the Bay Area. The school's small enrollment means kids genuinely know each other and their teachers, with strong English scores reflecting the kind of thoughtful, engaged learning environment you'd expect from a community that values creativity and connection. Families who are drawn to a slower, nature-immersed pace of life — surfing in the morning, hiking after school — will find this little K-8 school fits right into that coastal village lifestyle.
