Saint Mark’s High School

offers each student a unique blend of academics, arts, athletics, co-curricular activities, college scholarship opportunities, affordability and excitement, creating a high school experience that is unparalleled in the area. The private campus is spectacular with 45 acres of land, situated just off Kirkwood Highway, minutes from Newark and easily accessible from Routes 1 and I-95.

Our co-educational program features five distinct academic levels and Delaware’s largest Advanced Placement program. With the assistance of our college placement counselors, more than 97 percent of Saint Mark’s graduates attend higher education with many awarded scholarships and grants to the school of their choice.

Continual improvements to our facilities and technology keep Saint Mark’s on the cutting edge. Recent projects include renovating science labs and art rooms and expanding our athletic fields. We have been recognized both regionally and nationally for our leadership not only in teaching technology, but for also integrating it into our curriculum, empowering students to be better learners who are able to work in increasingly technology-dependent environments.

Saint Mark’s remains one of the most affordable private or Catholic high schools in the area, and we are committed to helping parents afford an outstanding education for their children. In addition to providing in excess of $1 million in need-based tuition assistance every year, we also offer academic scholarships to entering freshmen based on their performance on the Entrance Test, which will be held Saturday, December 4 and Saturday, December 11.

Since our first graduating class in 1973, Saint Mark’s graduates have been encouraged to “go forth from this school to create a better world more pleasing to God and more helpful to man.” Through rigorous academic offerings, competitive athletic programs, and immersive service opportunities, our students learn to be confident leaders and active participants, fully prepared to meet success in the college classroom as well as throughout their careers.

We invite you to come to Saint Mark’s and experience our very special feeling of belonging during our Open House on Sunday, November 7. For more information, please call 302.757.8721 or visit our website at www.stmarkshs.net.
