New Boarding Students, please complete our Roommate Survey to assist us with housing assignments.

St. Mark’s School and E&R – The Campus Laundry will once again partner to provide laundry services to all interested students to better meet our community’s needs.

E&R offers a variety of plan options to maximize your student’s available free time and promote a clean and healthy dorm room. As leaders in sustainability, they also help to reduce the school’s carbon footprint. Although the campus washers and dryers are relatively efficient, they cannot compare with the equipment at E&R’s central laundering facility in terms of gas, electricity, and water usage.

For more information about each plan, please refer to the laundry services brochure.

Academic Day: Dress during the academic day (starting at 8:00 am) must be neat, clean, and modest (Business Casual). Dress pants, khaki/chino pants, corduroy pants or Bermuda length dress shorts with crew neck sweater, collared shirt or turtleneck. Shoes (including sneakers and sandals) must be worn on feet and closed-toe shoes must be worn for science labs.

Blouse, shell sweater or turtleneck with dress slacks, corduroy pants, khaki/chinos pants, dress, Bermuda length dress shorts or a skirt. For dresses, shorts, and skirts, the length needs to be four inches below one’s fingertips. Sleeveless tops are acceptable, but not tops with narrow (i.e. spaghetti) or no straps. Tops must be long enough to meet the tops on one’s skirt or slacks without skin showing at the midriff and may not have any writing other than a logo. Shoes (including sneakers and sandals) must be worn on feet and closed-toe shoes must be worn for science labs.

During the academic day, students may not wear sweatshirts other than official St. Mark’s sweatshirts. Students may not wear hats, t-shirts, low-cut tops, visible underwear, athletic clothing (including spandex and yoga pants), sweatpants, ripped, patched, or frayed clothing, pajamas, robes, slippers or blue jeans. Students may not wear head coverings except for religious reasons.

The class day dress code applies whenever classes are in session, regardless of whether a particular student has a scheduled class. Students are expected to be in proper dress during lunch and free periods until classes are over for everyone for the day. In general, dress during the academic day should be neat, clean, modest, and in good repair. Students can expect to be told to change when they are wearing articles of clothing or a style of dress that fits the letter but not the spirit of the dress code.

As in any community, there are appropriate ways to dress for different occasions. We expect students to understand and demonstrate this in the ways that they dress for class, chapel, and leisure activities.

Chapel Dress: A sport coat, blazer, or suit with collared dress shirt and tie or turtleneck, dress slacks, dress shoes, and socks. Shirts must be tucked in. Blazer or cardigan sweater with dress, or blazer or sweater with dress blouse, and appropriate skirt or dress slacks. Dress shoes. Low cut necklines that reveal cleavage or short skirts are inappropriate for chapel.

Dress Code After Classes: Dress must be clean, appropriate, and decent. In the dining room, shoes must be worn and hats may not be worn. Neither bare feet nor cleated shoes are allowed on the first floor of the Main Building, and underwear should never be visible. Slippers, pajamas, and robes may only be worn inside the houses.

Each year as we welcome new students to school, we work to provide support for all students entering the St. Mark’s community.

In addition to the support provided by advisors, house (dorm) parents, The Center and teachers, St. Mark’s seeks to cultivate a community that is safe and generative for each community member. In fact, we believe that understanding the various cultures and communities represented in our student body is an essential part of the education each student receives here at St. Mark’s.

At St. Mark’s School we have a proud history of educating students from around the world. As an international student you bring a valuable and important perspective to the school and your presence increases our sense of global citizenship. We hope that this will serve as a resource for you and your parents as you navigate your way to St. Mark’s and while you are enrolled as a student here.
