At St. Mark, we provide a safe and family-oriented environment where your child can flourish. Our dedicated faculty and staff educate students to be active Christians, lifelong learners, problem solvers and responsible citizens. We take a personal interest in each and every child, providing the rigorous curriculum to answer questions, and the nurturing guidance to help them achieve dreams.

Catholic education strives to educate the whole child: spiritually, emotionally, socially, intellectually, artistically, and physically. Our curricula and co-curricular activities are designed to instill in each student a reverence for God and all his creation, and to affirm the rich diversity of our students, families, teachers, and priests, while building positive community involvement. We have a proven track record educating children in the Christian spirit of service education. Indeed, our talented graduates have an established record of academic success and extra curricular involvement in the secondary schools of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

At St. Mark Catholic School we create ideal conditions for learning and leadership to thrive.
