What Makes Us Different?

At St. Mark School, our teachers learn together, plan together, discuss projects together, and, most of all, PRAY together – all with the mission of developing students to their fullest potential. St. Mark School doesn’t just teach subjects. Rather, it strives to teach from the basics as it works to cultivate the necessary skills that all students need to meet with success. Our teachers help students learn and, because their classrooms are managed effectively, they raise the level of student achievement.

Programs do not teach, building facilities do not teach, only teachers “TEACH”. St. Mark School is blessed to have a faculty that is second to none. They start each day on task, they clearly post assignments, they run their classes smoothly, they maximize their time, and they give generously from within. The faculty of St. Mark School begins each day as a journey of the heart.
