St. Mark School of Texas
1st Grade – 12th Grade

As a college preparatory institution, St. Mark's School of Texas prepares boys and young 
men for each successive step of their academic careers. However, our ambitions are not 
limited to the scholastic alone. It is our mission to educate the "whole boy," providing 
each of our students with the tools necessary to be successful in and out of the classroom. 
Additionally, as a boys' school we are able to address clearly and directly the particular 
characteristics and learning needs that boys exhibit.

The School's major objective is to prepare young men for lives of responsibility and 
leadership in a competitive and ever-changing world. To this end, we profess and uphold 
certain values including integrity, honor, courage, acceptance of responsibility for one's 
actions, the ability to defer gratification in pursuit of one's goals, service to the broader 
community, and commitment to working with others to make a difference on campus and 
in the world. Information from: http://www.smtexas.org/
