Our daughter has been attending Mar Vista for two years and we have loved this school since day one. All of the teachers and administrators have been amazing, and my daughter has thrived under their care. I am so excited to send my younger children there when they are old enough to attend.

Mar vista has a cheery kind atmosphere when ever I have been there for my grand sons.....THis year my 4th grader has had many interesting field trips and projects that have been impressive to hear about and see. My 3rd grader has grown and developed a wonderful academic awareness with such positive support from his teacher and Resource Teacher ......what a gift for him (and us) this year. A happy and successful school year makes such a difference for students, parents and family.

Mar Vista just became recognized as a 'California Distinguished School' this year. The level of parent involvement and dedication is exceptional, the leadership is spirited, and the diversity of the student body makes it an interesting and fun learning environment.
