Vision
Media and coding begin in PK4 and continue through a students' time at Saint Mark's. Our goal is to inspire creativity and innovation. We give our student’s a wide variety of opportunities to investigate and apply information.
Critical thinking
Using thoughtful decision-making to gather, evaluate, utilize and produce a final product - be it a science project, a robot, or a book talk - students develop the necessary skills and understanding to prepare them for the learning of today and tomorrow.

With reading corners, comfortable work surfaces, computers and areas for group instruction, our library space accommodates learning in many forms.
Because all students learn differently:
Books - We are constantly updating our books for those who need to feel and hold. All students are welcome to check out books from our library.
Online resources - We also have a partnership with local public libraries. Students each receive library cards. Public library online resource books are then available and students are taught to research rather than Google.
STEM Lab
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
Our STEM Lab is a true creative space, with a bit of organized chaos at all times. Project Lead the Way's Design and Modeling, Automation and Robotics are woven into our Science curriculum.
Problem solving is an integral part of our STEM program, giving students a safe place to fail and to rally toward a solution.
Collaborative, project-based learning mixed with a little competition help a student learn additional life skills and prepare for high school.
Autodesk inventor is used to design CAD models that can be 3D printed. From simple machines and gear ratios, to working with calipers and how to scale objects, to orthographic and isometric drawing, students are immersed in the language of the jobs of the future.
Robotics elective
In this robotics elective students learn hands-on, creative problem solving and design thinking to engineer some amazing robots.
