Madrone High Continuation

Madrone High School, located in San Rafael, California, serves as the district’s alternative education site, specifically designed to support students who benefit from a non-traditional learning environment. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to offer a flexible, supportive, and personalized academic experience for students who may have struggled in a conventional comprehensive high school setting. The program focuses on credit recovery and academic advancement, allowing students to work toward their high school diplomas at a pace that better aligns with their individual needs and life circumstances.

Beyond academics, the school places a strong emphasis on fostering a close-knit community and providing targeted social-emotional support. By maintaining smaller class sizes and lower student-to-teacher ratios, Madrone High creates a culture of mentorship and accountability that helps students build confidence and develop essential life skills. The school is dedicated to empowering its diverse student body, helping them overcome barriers to education and successfully transition into post-secondary paths, whether that involves higher education, vocational training, or direct entry into the workforce.
