50% of all proceeds from Marin Academy’s Senior Concert will go to Daraja Academy.
The Marin Academy Music Program (at Marin Academy, in San Rafael, CA) is experiential and student-centered. Built around small ensembles, the program is run by teachers who are also professional musicians. The program prepares students for ensemble performance, emphasizing skills such as listening, collaboration and creativity while balancing technical learning and hands-on experience. Teachers and coaches have been successful in helping students to "own" their work – the result is that students invest themselves far beyond the requirements. Daraja Academy is a boarding secondary school for Kenyan girls with top academic scores and exceptional leadership skills but no means to continue their education. The academy provides shelter, food, healthcare and counseling services which allows students to focus on their academic and personal potential, without being hindered by the everyday barriers of poverty.
