Saint Mark's High School

About Our Program
Saint Mark's offers a college preparatory student experience and a rigorous academic program designed to meet students where they are and find a balance between rigor and student success. On average, 97% of Saint Mark's graduates move on to higher education at outstanding colleges and universities like University of Pennsylvania, Villanova, Notre Dame, and the University of Delaware, just to name a few. 

At Saint Mark's, we have the unique ability to tailor the instructional level of various courses to meet a student's needs. This includes learning at different academic levels in different courses at the same time to reflect the student's individual strengths and areas of interest. A robust offering of Advanced Placement (AP) courses is also available, along with over two-dozen dual-enrollment options through local universities. 

Students with specific learning challenges also have a home at Saint Mark's. Our EMMAUS program provides services ranging from periodic check-ins to regular small-group instruction and other opportunities to master skills and content. 

At Saint Mark's, all things are possible and all students have a home. Working together with students and families, our staff delivers a superior education that places students on a path to success in college and beyond. Our holistic approach to the education of the next generation strives to empower not only students' minds, but also their bodies, hearts, and souls.

Highlights of our curricular programs include the following:

Advanced Placement - Saint Mark's provides an extensive number of offerings from the College Board's Advanced Placement Program. SMHS students in AP courses may, at the discretion of the college or university they choose to attend, receive college credit for work taken in high school.
Academic Levels - Our levels, or phases, reflect the school's unique ability to meet student needs in a variety of learning areas. Students may be in multiple course phases across their program - phases that reflect individual strengths and weaknesses and that provide opportunities for individual growth and improvement.
EMMAUS Services - This program provides a resource for students with specific language-based learning challenges regardless of their academic phase. Service levels vary from individual skill development and support to extended time testing and opportunities for the development of learning strategies.
