A Classical Christian Education Rooted in Faith

At St. Mark Christian School, our Elementary Program (Grades 1–5) provides a rigorous Classical Christian education grounded in an Orthodox Christian worldview. We believe children are created in the image of God and are called to grow in wisdom, knowledge, faith, and character.

Students engage in a rich academic program that develops strong readers, thoughtful writers, confident mathematicians, and curious learners. Through the study of literature, history, science, mathematics, language, and theology, students learn not only what to think, but how to think.

What makes St. Mark unique is our intentional blend of Classical education and Montessori-inspired learning. While our curriculum follows the Classical tradition, students continue to benefit from hands-on learning experiences, individualized support, leadership opportunities, and the development of independence and responsibility throughout the elementary years.

Faith is woven into every aspect of the school day. Through daily prayer, Scripture study, the lives of the saints, and Christian virtue formation, students learn to see God's truth in every subject and every area of life.
