Our Episcopal identity is central to our commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and service to others. Our Episcopal values guide us as we provide an outstanding education, where academic curiosity creates lifelong learners and empathetic, principled leaders. As a community, we actively participate in living out these values together.

In chapel, we gather to create an accepting space, where students reflect in age-appropriate ways on their own inner life and respond to the world around them. Through chapel and service-learning programs, Saint Mark’s students develop a concern for others and a strong moral compass, which guides them through their elementary experience and into their adolescent and adult lives.

The characteristics of an Episcopal education are a key part of what makes our school and our graduates stand out.

“Saint Mark’s School nurtures the innate spirituality of children through worship, conversation, and an appreciation for the wisdom and traditions of each family. We invite our students to look both more deeply and more broadly in life, encouraging tender hearts, respect for the dignity of every person, and a passion for justice.”

-Mother Betsy, School Chaplain

Elementary students come together once a week for chapel; preschool students attend twice a month. All Saint Mark’s families are welcome to join us! Our worship encourages student participation and leadership in a variety of ways, and is respectful of those of every faith tradition or none.

Saint Mark’s School and Saint Mark’s Church are proud to partner with Ste. Marguerite, a school in Latournelle, Haiti. The church and school’s relationship with Ste. Marguerite began in 2011, shortly after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Pastor Carri Patterson Grindon and Doreen Oleson, Head of School at the time, visited Haiti and saw the community’s needs firsthand.
