New Boarding Students, please complete our Roommate Survey by June 29 to assist us with housing assignments.

St. Mark’s School will once again work with E&R Laundry 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.

Laundry machines are also available to students in each house. Machine charges can be made by both Lion cards and coin (quarters).

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 (typically 8:30 A.M. - 3:05 P.M.), 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 will be required to change when they do not meet 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.

Incoming families will receive an email in late August with registration details. Lion Cards will be given to new students at Orientation.

The Lion Card is the official identification card for all students. The Lion Card comes with a prepaid spending account feature called Lion Cash that are the student incidental accounts. Students can use their card to buy textbooks and other items from the bookstore as well as eat at the Lions' Den. There are no fees to use the Lion Card and you can add as much value to your card as you would like.

Parents of newly enrolled students only:
Please upload an up to date photo of your child so we may share it in our directory.

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.
