History of Marbut Theme School

The land on which Marbut Theme School sits today was owned by the Marbut family. A country road ran through the family property, thus the name of Marbut Road. But the real history of Marbut Theme School began in February, 1996, when parents began to meet to discuss the guidelines that would become Marbut Theme School. These included uniform dress codes, mascot, school colors and parent guidelines.



The Marbut Elementary Theme School Program

The Dekalb County School System established the Traditional Theme Schools during the 1996-1997 school year with the opening of Marbut Elementary, Bouie Elementary, and Oakcliff Elementary. The theme school program focuses on students as active participants involved in research-centered assignments and hands-on projects in a highly structured interdisciplinary educational program. Parents are a vital part of this program as they provide instructional support for the teachers and the school.

Special features of the Marbut Elementary Theme School Program include:
