Belvedere Schools

Each area in Marin County has a unique personality. If Belvedere's exclusive, village-like atmosphere, coupled with the stunning views and close proximity to San Francisco appeals to you, the next thing you need to consider, if you have children, are the schools that are available to the community.

Public Schools in Belvedere

Two public school districts serve Belvedere. Elementary and middle school students attend schools in the Reed Union School District, and most high school students attend Redwood High School, which is in the Tamalpais Union High School District.

Reed Union School District serves the elementary schools in the communities of Belvedere, Tiburon, and a portion of East Corte Madera.

Tamalpais Union High School District provides secondary school education to students coming from ten elementary districts in Marin County, including the Reed Union School District. It includes three comprehensive high schools, all of which have been designated as California Distinguished Schools, and two alternative schools.
