Irene M. Hunt School / Side by Side

The Irene M. Hunt School (Hunt School) is a nonpublic day school located in Marin County, and is the special education program of the nonprofit agency Side by Side, formerly Sunny Hills Services. The Hunt School provides kindergarten through twelfth grade students with an individualized education tailored towards their specific needs. With our committed support, students address emotional and behavioral challenges and build on their core strengths and innate desire to learn and grow.

The Hunt School provides a therapeutic learning environment where students develop the competence to regulate their behavior, maintain focus and resilience, and form healthy, trusting relationships – all foundational elements for lifelong learning. We supplement our comprehensive common core state adopted curriculum with a wide range of enrichment for students, including exposure to music and theater. In addition to the school-wide positive behavior program and customized student support plans, students receive personalized mental health treatment and other specialized services according to their individualized education plans.
