—Graham Butterfield, VI Former

You don’t know unless you ask. 🤔

Faculty who inspire.

Students engage with faculty both in and out of the classroom. Serving as advisors, coaches, dorm parents, and teachers, faculty are a huge part of the St. Mark’s community.

A schedule that works.

Each class meets for:

minutes,
twice a week
45
minutes,
once a week

St. Mark’s Saturdays:

hours every
week
St. Mark’s Saturday is not your typical class. It’s a chance to explore a curiosity and engage with the community.
A class that puts Inigo Montoya on trial? That’s inconceivable! 👑 👰

It starts with a question...

Students have the opportunity for advanced STEM research at local universities, working side-by-side with university faculty and graduate students.

“The class was a constant push to challenge what you know, deepen your understanding, grow individual responsibility, and collaborate.”
