The school will:
Provide an education based on Pennsylvania’s academic standards so that “no child will be left behind”. This includes learning opportunities and experiences that are based on the child’s individual needs, interests and abilities, building important foundations for future reading skills and other academic pursuits.

For more than twenty-five years, St. Mark has provided academic excellence for
all of its children in a safe and nurturing Christian environment.
Christopher J. Franz, Pastor, notes: “I look forward every week to the opportunity to enjoy non-denominational chapel time with the children who attend our Christian School.”
Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the children come to me and do
not stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
Mark 10: 14
