The Parish Investment
In accordance with its mission, Saint Mark's Church wants to ensure that a Catholic education is an option for all registered, active parish families. To this end, the Church demonstrates its commitment through a Parish Investment of $1050 for each child who is a member of a registered, active parish family.
After careful consideration, Saint Mark's Parish has determined that families qualify for the Parish Investment by meeting all of the following criteria:
- Registered member at Saint Mark's Church
- Attends Mass regularly
- Volunteers time and talent in parish ministries or activities
- Pledges/honors an annual stewardship commitment
Families who do not qualify for the Parish Investment pay the Standard Tuition Rate.
Additional Financial Assistance Options
In addition to the per child Parish Investment, tuition assistance is also available for registered, active parish families. Please contact the Parish Administrator for a TADS financial aid form. (All correspondence and personal financial information is kept strictly confidential.)
The Saint Mark's Advantage
Saint Mark's approaches academics with rigor and diligence. The core curriculum focuses on education fundamentals. Specialized Art, Computer, Music and Spanish classes are available at all grade levels including kindergarten. Principles of social justice and compassion are incorporated into the curriculum.
From the principal, Molly Whinnery, to the pastor, Father Jeff Huard, the administration and teachers believe a diverse student body strengthens the school community by integrating, on a daily basis, the traditional Catholic belief, that we are all members of one family. In all our work, the staff and faculty work to instill a pride of self for students, a respect for diversity within our community, and a desire to work for peace and justice in the world community.
A Marker's learning doesn't stop at the end of the school day. Most students get involved in any number of extracurricular opportunities offered by the school, including intramural and competitive sports. We believe that the personalized attention from our experienced staff combined with an academic experience enriched by faith, community and technology -- all in an environment that instills individual and cooperative learning, gives students the Saint Mark's advantage.
