THE BOLINAS-STINSON UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT
THE BOLINAS-STINSON SCHOOL

The Bolinas-Stinson School has two beautiful campuses. Both campuses were built and dedicated in 1981 after years of planning by community members and architects. Every attempt was made to build a school that was both functional and aesthetic.

The Stinson Beach Campus

Located on Highway One, a kilometer north of the community of Stinson Beach, this campus consists of three classrooms set back against the hillside with a view of the Bolinas Lagoon. The Stinson Beach campus houses the primary grades (k, 1, 2.) Each classroom opens out to a courtyard which provides a warm community feeling for the children and staff. One of the classrooms has a cheery fireplace and a window seat looking out to the lagoon. A modern playground sits out in the field. The natural beauty of the location is enhanced by the children.

The Bolinas Campus

Since the early part of the century the Bolinas campus has been located in Gospel Flats. The traditional look and feel of the school has been maintained in the new buildings. A replica of an old ranch house is now the district office. A replica of the original school building, built to modern earthquake standards, houses the school library and a classroom. The rest of the classrooms (grades 3 through 8) dot the 2.6 acre campus along with a playing field, basketball and volleyball courts, and a large playground structure. Students are summoned to class by an old-fashioned bell in the belfry of the library. Children in these grades are taught to live in the modern world surrounded by reminders of the past.
