Visiting Campus
San Domenico School is located in Northern California, nestled on a 515-acre campus in beautiful Marin County.
Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Marin County remains a vibrant and healthy community known for its many natural and wide open spaces.
Established in 1850—the same year that San Domenico was founded as California’s first independent school—Marin is one of California’s original twenty-seven counties. Just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Marin County has stunning beaches, protected redwood forests, extensive hiking and bike trails, and restaurants that cater to foodies of all tastes.
The San Domenico campus is in the town San Anselmo, where a small-town feel is ever-present and visitors can find independent booksellers, clothing boutiques, novelties, and friendly locals.
