The schools, created by Wendy Xa, a former vice president at Goldman Sachs and a mother of two who founded the Mandarin immersion Presidio Knolls School in San Francisco in 2008 as a preschool before expanding it to a K-8 program, seek to be “a world class institution in the heart of Mill Valley,” Xa says.
The summer camps are for kids ages 3-15 and run from June 3 to August 9. They are “Academics & Archery” (ages 7-13), Earth Discovery (ages 3-15), and Mandarin Mania (ages 3-10), while a SSAT prep for rising seventh and eighth grader runs May 25-July 5.
In a limited time offer, Terra Marin is offering 50 percent off for the first five people who contact the school about the camps that heard about them on the Enjoy Mill Valley Blog. Click here to reach out directly to Terra Marin to receive the discount.
