School Reviews

Our overall experience at The Cove School was outstanding with a Principal and Staff fully engaged and some teachers who were beyond exceptional. The school has the latest in technology and classroom layout that is flexible and a magnificent playground with views of Mt. Tamalpais. Well over half of the student body walk or bike to school.
