Portrait of a Graduate
我们的毕业生体现了使马林地平线与众不同的核心价值观-从他们2023年6月的毕业演讲摘录中可以看出.
Passionate Learners
“Marin Horizon教会了我一切，从数学公式到解决冲突. 它教会了我去欣赏每件事和每一个人，去探索和创造. Marin Horizon向我展示了如何在世界上任何地方看到美. 这就是为什么马林地平线不仅仅是一个地方，一个老师，甚至是一种教学风格. 这是一种心态，一种看待周围世界的方式，一种关注美好时刻的方式. It’s the way you think about other people 和 care about them".
Beacons of Kindness
"There is one memory that st和s out to me. It was the riverwalk with the fifth graders. The water was freezing cold, 和 after about 20 minutes of walking, we arrived at a spot in the river blocked by a fallen tree. 它造了一个深潭，树之后是一个更深的潭. I remember being freezing cold, 然后，看到无畏的乔治一头扎进水里，从圆木下面游过去，我吓得发抖. After a couple of fifth graders followed him, they turned right around, instead of continuing to walk. They began helping people across the log, 和 down into the pool. 我的朋友把我放在他的肩膀上，把我安全地抬到对岸的岸上. I remember this not because it was a r和om act of kindness, but because this is what the Marin Horizon community does everyday. They do not leap over a hurdle 和 keep going, they turn around 和 knock it over so others can follow".
Advocates for Change
"At Marin Horizon, 我学会了做我自己，在我复杂的情绪中找到力量是可以的. 我获得了不带任何评判地尝试新事物和重温旧事物的信心. When I came to Marin Horizon, 我找到了一个包容多样性和自我接纳的不加评判的地方. I began to feel safe enough to advocate for myself. 如果没有今天身边那些支持和接纳我的人，这种转变是不可能发生的. Because of the valuable lessons I learned here, I am now viewing my sensitivity as a strength 和 not a weakness. I can embrace my feelings 和 have compassion for myself 和 others".
成长心态
"So what do these words “finish strong” mean? 杰西·皮尔森, my English teacher, says they mean that if it’s worth doing, then it’s worth doing well. 我同意. 对我来说, finishing strong means that If you’re playing basketball, 第四节你应该像第一节一样努力. 强势结束意味着如果你是一名飞行员，你必须让你的着陆恰到好处. 马拉松比赛结束时的最后一推可能决定你能否完成比赛, 和 beating a world record. 坚强地完成学业意味着付出你所拥有的一切——无论是你在学校的最后几个月还是你的最后一次演讲, 和 then getting off of the stage".
Compassionate Leaders
“如果我能给六、七年级的自己任何建议，那就是做真实的自己. In 6th grade, I started to write rap songs. 我在看了电影《十大老品牌网赌大全》后受到启发，说唱成为我表达自己的方式. 在多次不成功的尝试之后，我终于成功了. That song was called, Ridin’ the Rap Train. 这首歌是十大老品牌网赌大全写作受阻和努力写歌. 从那以后，我继续写十大老品牌网赌大全我生活中发生的事情的歌. 上学后，我开始创作十大老品牌网赌大全世界问题的歌曲. 音乐有助于我的心理健康，因为我把所有消极的东西都变成了我喜欢的东西. So my advice for the world is the same advice I gave to myself. Don’t change yourself to please others. Don’t be fake because you think it will make other people happy. Don’t worry about being perfect. All you have to do is be real".
Environmental Stewards
“最重要的是，是这些人塑造了我在马林地平线的时光. 他们是那种你想要成为朋友的人，他们会让你笑个不停. 无论发生什么，他们都会支持你，同时确保你尽最大努力. 我对他们的感激无法用言语表达，因为他们一直是最善良、最富有同情心的人，不仅对我，而且对他们遇到的每一个人. Whether we are dancing, 笑, or just sitting with each other, 我所收集的记忆将永远在我心中占据一个特殊的位置. 如果说我学到了什么，那就是感恩，永远不要把这样的人视为理所当然。”.
2023届毕业生
High School Placement
At Marin Horizon, 我们的高中安置过程是有意以学生为中心，以过程为导向的. 而不是把从初中到高中的过渡作为一个终点, we view it as an opportunity for continued skill development, emotional growth, 和 student empowerment. 重要的是, 我们希望学生和家庭在他们的高中过渡经历中得到支持. 而我们的大多数学生选择申请和就读私立学校, 我们强烈认为，选择上公立学校的学生应该和他们的同龄人一起庆祝. 最重要的是, 我们希望我们的学生从选择高中的过程中获益, rather than tying success to a particular outcome.
For families that apply to independent schools, 我们开始的过程是专注于为每个学生找到合适的“适合”. When students emphasize identifying the right school, rather than the “best” school, they are able to present themselves with confidence 和 authenticity, which typically yields better outcomes for applicants. 我们鼓励学生在申请过程中发挥带头作用. They practice essential skills including researching, 维护自己的权利, resume building, 面试, personal essay writing, 和, 最终, succeeding with grace 和 coping with disappointment. 最后, 学生能够在申请过程中反思自己的成就，并认识到自己的成功, regardless of outcome. At Marin Horizon, 我们可以自豪地说，我们对这一进程的重视年复一年地产生了优异的结果. 我们的学生一直被海湾地区的一流高中录取, 几乎每个申请人都在他们的第一或第二选择的学校找到了家.

Finding The Right Fit
"Going into high school, I feel braver 和 more confident. I now know who I am, 和 I'm not afr援助 to let other people see that. With a foundation for learning, I am not afr援助 of the challenges that await me. 我期待着结识新的、多样化的学生群体，并建立新的友谊。”.
