Opportunities to explore the arts are abundant at St. Mark’s. Our robust program includes innovative courses in music, theater, and visual arts—each one designed to complement our academic vision and broaden individual horizons. All students are required to take one year of fine arts study, but we find many eagerly participate in additional coursework.
The Music Program at St. Mark's School serves a wide range of student interests and includes co-curricular vocal and instrumental performing groups.
The Theater Department is an active part of the life of the School, mounting a major main stage production in the fall and the winter.
On canvas or paper, using a potter’s wheel or camera, St. Markers are encouraged to give free rein to their artistic side, and to bring a critical and appreciative eye to the world around them.
The arts offers students a chance to find and express their authentic voice. Through study and performance, we discover the unifying power of human emotion and embark on the journey for self-discovery. At the heart of every production is a willingness to engage honestly and collaborate with a diverse group of minds toward a common goal."

In the Putnam Family Arts Center (PFAC), students exhibit evidence of hard work and creative exploration. Printmaking, ceramics, photography, painting, sculpture, drawing, music, theatre, voice, and other performance pieces—students have access to professional-level equipment and produce work that goes way beyond traditional high school levels.
