My two girls attended Saint Mark. They had many opportunities to experience academic competitions, athletics, and music. After completing Saint Mark and going to high school they excelled in all their classes. It was a great experience and well worth it.

My children were at Saint Mark from pre-K to eighth grade. It was a wonderful experience for them. Small classrooms and teachers that are dedicated and caring. My children were very well prepared academically when they left Saint Mark.

St. Mark is instilling a love for learning in my children. Their classes feel like a community, and I enjoy getting to know other parents through volunteer opportunities and school events. With artistic, academic, and athletic after-school activities, I love that the learning continues after school hours and my kids explore their interests. Most importantly, my kids are reminded by St. Mark teachers and staff that they are loved by Jesus and have the opportunity to grow in their faith.

My children have flourished at St. Mark from Preschool all the way to graduation. Students are academically challenged in a loving environment. Their new school building is amazing and provides a great learning environment. Their athletics programs are very successful and they have won City and State Championships in multiple sports.

My 2.5 yo daughter has been there for almost two years. I am grateful for the enriching, loving, structured environment. I have been very impressed with the well-roundedness and maturity of the older students. My daughter has thrived. Though I moved to the neighborhood for the good public schools, I intend to keep my daughter there through the 8th grade.
