A community that fosters a spirit of service, first within itself, and then in a commitment to the wider society.

- At St. Mark’s, service is an active verb.
St. Mark’s is a school that takes pride in the authentic sense of community pervasive on campus. Students and faculty are genuine in their interest and concern for one another. This is evident daily in the cooperative nature of student interactions in schoolwork, athletics, and dorm life. St. Markers are remarkably quick to lend a hand or offer advice to another student in need.
Serving others begins with building community.
Service is a natural outgrowth of community. Here, through the work program, St. Markers help to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of the school buildings and grounds. In their shared roles as keepers of the community, students gain a heightened sense of responsability and an awareness of the difference one committed individual can make.
