Marvelwood School Recently Updated

Nestled atop scenic Skiff Mountain in Kent, Connecticut, Marvelwood is more than just a school—it’s a close-knit community where students are truly seen, deeply supported, and endlessly inspired. Here, we believe in the power of being known. Our small class sizes and 4:1 student-to-faculty ratio ensure that every student has a voice—and someone to listen. 

Marvelwood academics are experiential, active, and hands-on. Our faculty thoughtfully and intentionally design a tailored curriculum that engages all students. Students gain confidence and skills through a dynamic curriculum that evolves to meet their needs and interests—because here, learning isn’t one-size-fits-all.   Whether they’re researching  bird migration on Skiff Mountain, building robots, or growing food in the geodome, students engage deeply—and grow meaningfully.
