The teaching of the Roman Catholic religion and participation in the church liturgies is an integral part of the curriculum of St. Mark School. It is understood that non-Catholic students as well as Catholic students attend both the religion classes and the school liturgies. St. Mark School, mindful of its mission to educate young people to become respectful, responsible Christians who go forth to serve, admits students of any race, color and national and/or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at this school. St. Mark School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color and national and/or origin in administration of education policies, admissions policies or other school-administered programs.
