I am incredibly grateful to Mark Day School for being my “second home and extended family” for the past 38 years! The feeling of joy and kindness that permeates the campus is genuine, and the meaningful relationships I have with my colleagues, students, and families are treasured. I can’t envision a more special place to engage in the work I am passionate about!
Joining Mark Day School was hands-down one of the best parenting decisions our family has made because we found a place that truly challenges, develops, and loves our daughters as we do. Thanks to Mark Day School and its intentional programs, as well as its outstanding staff and teachers, our girls are courageous, confident and compassionate individuals who shine each and every day!
The best decision my parents ever made was sending me to Mark Day School. I joined in 5th grade and I remember being awed with the intellectual curiosity that my classmates and faculty exhibited. High school and college seemed easy after the foundation I developed at Mark Day!
At Mark Day School, my son is not just educated; he's nurtured, challenged, and cared for by teachers and staff who prioritize his well-being and growth.
