At the core of the St. Mark's experience is a rigorous college preparatory curriculum molded in the liberal arts tradition. A highly qualified and outstanding faculty is responsible for the development of the academic program, creating intellectual opportunities that help students acquire knowledge and develop analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Marksmen are taught to read, write, and think critically across the arts and sciences and at all grade levels. The school aims to prepare boys and young men to be successful at each stage of their academic careers and beyond. In the classroom, as in other arenas, St. Mark's motivates students to realize their potential by rewarding both striving and achieving.
