Welcome to Saint Mark's School!
At Saint Mark’s, we believe the wonder of childhood is the engine for purposeful learning and that a community built on love and partnership can hold one another through change. Following the loss of our beloved campus in the Eaton Fire, we are now thriving on two temporary campuses, united in mission and an unwavering spirit. This chapter in our story has only deepened our commitment to the children we serve, the values we uphold, and the people who make Saint Mark’s extraordinary.
Saint Mark’s is more than a school. It is a community where relationships are the heart of everything we do; where children are known, families are connected, and everyone belongs. We honor childhood as a unique and powerful stage of life, one that fuels curiosity, creativity, and joy. At the same time, we prepare our students with the academic skills, intellectual confidence, and personal integrity to thrive in their next schools and beyond. Our graduates step forward not only with academic success, but as leaders and contributors to the communities they join.
This is a school that shows up with intention, warmth, and curiosity. We teach children to be thoughtful, confident, kind, and grounded, and we model those same qualities for them every day. Through engaging, hands-on learning experiences, our students–from our youngest preschoolers to our confident sixth graders—learn to explore, question, and create, building a foundation for a lifetime of learning and leadership.
Along with our mission, our values guide us in all that we do: Know Yourself, Spread Goodness, Embrace All, and Learn for Life. These principles shape our classrooms, our playgrounds, and our relationships. They inspire us to treat others with compassion, to celebrate each person’s unique story, and to prepare our students to contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
Ask any student, parent, or teacher why they are drawn to Saint Mark’s, and they will tell you: It’s the community. In the face of change, our community has proven to be resilient, forward-looking, and steadfast in its care for one another. We step forward with confidence, grounded in trust and guided by purpose, and we invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you visit one of our campuses or explore our website, we hope you will feel the warmth that defines the Saint Mark’s experience.
We look forward to getting to know you.
