Electives

Students attend elective class everyday. Unless specified, electives are one semester and students change electives after winter break. 

Additionally, Marina offers three Zero Period (8:35am) electives, Chorus, Guitar and Advanced Math. 

AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

What does this look like at Marina? For 6th Graders are eligible for a single semester class, helping them establish organization systems, set short and long term goals, learn to check in on academics, and more. In 7th and 8th Grade, AVID can be a full year elective for chosen students (see your counselor for more information).

Visual Art at Marina is taught in a beautiful, light filled room with gorgeous views all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. 

Students use a variety of materials to explore art periods and the ideas and language used to describe that period. Artists and artistic movements are considered and ways to merge them to create new ideas and modern expressions.

Marina introduced a new elective starting in the 2019-2020 school year, Arabic Language & Culture! This class will go deep into history, culture, and language, and is taught by Mr. Fan.
