Saint Mark School

Saint Mark School is a Catholic grammar school (Pre k–grade 8) located in Stratford, CT.

Saint Mark School is a community of faith, whose aim is the education of our children and the teaching of values of responsible living and serving. At Saint Mark, the child is the soul, the faculty is the heart and the parents and parishes are the support.

Our Mission

The mission of St. Mark School is to assist parents in teaching their children to know Jesus Christ within the Catholic Faith, while providing a high quality education.

Underlying this mission is the belief that children are sacred and unique, and that childhood is a right. We will provide an atmosphere wherein the children can learn in a safe, nurturing environment, which stresses respect for God, self, and others.

Our Academic Program

St. Mark School offers its students a strong academic program including math, science, English, reading, computer science, Spanish, social studies, art, and physical education. We have state-of-the-art computer and science labs, along with dedicated, caring teachers and staff. Our students integrate their classroom learning with real-life experiences by visiting theaters, libraries, and museums. St. Mark students consistently receive excellent scores on annual achievement tests. This strong foundation serves our children well in high school and beyond. Our educational goals, objectives, and programs are directed to the growth of the whole child. We are committed to educational excellence.

Our Faith

St. Mark School teachers link our academic program with Catholic values. They connect the Gospel message with their daily lessons. Our community of faith is strengthened by morning prayer, weekly worship at Mass, and the joyful celebration of religious holidays.

We know that our children are the future. We prepare them to meet the challenges of their world. They are taught that God walks with them through their lives and that their faith in Him will sustain them.

At St. Mark we create an atmosphere that encourages personal integrity, self respect, discipline, and individual dignity. Students are taught the importance of respect for their peers, teachers, principal and community. These lessons in appropriate Christian behavior and manners afford all of our students a nurturing environment in which they can grow and learn.
