In service to others

2009 Nationally Recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence

ST. MARK SCHOOL is unique from other local Catholic and public schools in Stratford, CT. Our Catholic faith is the foundation for our community and the educational initiatives that form the whole child through evangelical values.  At St. Mark School, we form students into true disciples of Christ, fostering a strong sense of Catholic identity and pride. Within a safe and nurturing environment, we encourage our students to deepen their faith, strive for academic excellence, and live out the teachings of Christ in their everyday actions. Service to others is at the heart of our community, instilling in each student a commitment to love, integrity, and making a positive impact in the world around them. Through this mission, St. Mark School not only prepares students for academic achievement but also for a life of faithful service, rooted in Catholic values.

Quote Marks

The Little Lions Preschool exceeds our expectations. Julie goes above and beyond daily for the children and does it all with a smile. Our daughter is excited to go to school and continues to grow exponentially each new day. We are eager to see what the future holds for our daughter at St. Mark School.

Little Lions is a wonderful place where your child will blossom right before your eyes. Mrs. Larracuente’s developmentally appropriate approach to teaching and learning is a true gift. We have been lucky to have two of our children go through the program and we couldn’t be happier with their first school experience. Our children were more than ready for Kindergarten!!

I was fortunate to attend St. Mark School for my elementary education, where I not only received a strong academic foundation but also had the gift of deepening my faith in God. Now, as a third-grade teacher, I feel truly blessed to be back at the school I cherished as a child. It’s a joy to collaborate with my fellow faculty members, some of whom were once my teachers. The sense of community at St. Mark School is as vibrant and strong as it was when I was a student. It truly feels like coming home!

St. Mark School is such a close knit community. We could not have asked for a more caring environment for our daughter. Each day we feel as if we are sending her to her second family. She feels safe and happy at school. The teachers are wonderful, providing top notch academics and individual attention and care to all children. St. Mark is not only preparing our young children academically, but also preparing them to become young men and women who are kind, altruistic and possess a strong moral compass. We are so happy that we chose St. Mark and could not have asked for a better school!

Every gift makes a difference. Every donor strengthens our community. Every act of generosity shows our children what it means to lift each other up in Christ. Support our school. Support our family.
