Admission Process
Meet Our Community
We are a Bay Area independent school community founded on diversity, inclusivity, and lifelong learning. At Mark Day School, each student, faculty and staff member, and parent and guardian is known. There are many ways we celebrate individuality, honor differences, and come together, from twice-weekly all-school assemblies to Kindergarten and 8th grade buddies to parent/guardian gatherings. Learn more about our community from the people who know it best.
I am grateful to be part of the Mark Day community because I receive an enormous amount of support and encouragement from colleagues and families to explore new ideas and incorporate them into the English and history curricula.
Our sons have been able to explore their fullest potential in and out of the classroom at Mark Day School. From Kindergarten to the 8th grade, they have been supported in becoming confident thinkers and community members who are ready for the challenges of high school and beyond.
Mark Day School provided a supportive, warm community focused on the joy of learning. I value my connections with teachers and peers at Mark Day and attribute much of who I am today to the school!
We feel so lucky to have landed at Mark Day School when our children entered their middle school years. The educational experience is so thoughtful and purposeful - the school sets a high academic bar, but equips students with the full agency and constant support to meet it.

Our 2022 Strategic Plan intentionally leads with teaching and learning. We established two overarching goals: “Nurture habits and mindsets that students need to be agents of their own learning. Advance everyday use of assessment data to challenge every student and improve teaching practices.”
