Parent Experience
Welcome
Intentionally small.
Thinking big.
This is the St. Mark’s experience. We provide a holistic approach to education, blending a traditional curriculum with experiential learning, physical wellness, and spiritual growth. Our welcoming and inclusive community encourages every student to delve into new experiences, explore personal passions, and discover a uniquely meaningful experience.
From day one, we begin preparing students for life after St. Mark’s. Our Global Citizenship and Counseling programs are exceptional tools for both academic and personal growth. Both day and boarding students experience a life-shaping journey in a small, nurturing, and safe environment.
A deeper understanding of the world allows us to make a greater impact on the future.
Every student at St. Mark’s is asked to observe, explore, and better understand the world around them. Through this recognition and discovery, students experience personal awareness and growth that lay a path to deeper thinking and global responsibility.
Academic opportunities
Student trips
Week-long travel breaks offer students an opportunity to delve into an academic topic by experiencing its global effect in a particular country or region.
Global Citizen Institute
This innovative program engages students and faculty from public, private, and international secondary schools, in a week-long, collaborative forum that explores a single, global issue.
We inspire students to challenge what they believe, question what they know, and collaborate with different points of view.
Every experience at St. Mark’s is an opportunity to learn and grow. We balance our challenging curriculum with creative, exploratory programs that provide a fuller, richer education—satisfying individual curiosity and
promoting a lifetime of independent thinking.
“St. Mark’s doesn’t rest on its traditions; we push forward with different ways to provide a holistic education that includes academics, community, and athletics. Students have amazing opportunities that go beyond daily life with programs that encourage them to explore their unique interests and hone in on their individuality.”

Putting an exceptional education within reach for as many students as possible.
While our tuition is reflective of the value of our education, St. Mark’s is aware that some families may need financial assistance. Using the School and Student Service (SSS) for financial aid, our Financial Aid Office determines award size based on demonstrated need. We are committed to helping a broad spectrum of families, so individual needs are reviewed every year to accommodate new circumstances. Financial aid consists entirely of grants that need not be repaid.
St. Mark’s does not offer academic or athletic scholarships.
For more information on applying for financial aid or to learn about financing options, contact Laurie Kalapinski at
lauriekalapinski@stmarksschool.org or (508) 786-6116.
Students graduate to collegiate success, but St. Mark’s never truly leaves them.
From a student’s first day on campus, preparation begins for life after St. Mark’s. Our college counselors become immediately acquainted with students to help guide them towards their next steps. It is a process that builds confidence, provides autonomy, and results in some very happy and successful alumni.
