About & FAQ

Too often Christian education is regarded as an alternative for parents to shelter or protect children from something. Nothing could be further from the truth. Christian education is entirely about exposure. Christian education is an opportunity to continually and constantly expose children to God's saving Word. Through daily Bible study, devotions, discussion, prayer and memory work children are exposed to the love of God displayed in Jesus.

These words that I am commanding you today are to be on your heart. Teach them diligently to your children, and speak about them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

Christian education at St. Mark Lutheran School provides true wisdom. Students are guided to see that important questions like: "Who am I?" and "What is my purpose?" are not answered with worldly sources or inner reflection. The answers to these questions are found in the Bible. Students are taught that real purpose comes from knowing they are a redeemed child of God through Jesus' work as their Savior from sin and serving God and sharing the love of Jesus with others.

Psalm 111:10 -- "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."

Yes, we are! In 2014, we received our accreditation through WELSSA. We were re-accredited during the 2025-2026 school year. Accreditation means that we have demonstrated that we meet and exceed the standards that parents and educators expect from a high-quality school. These standards range from curriculum to school administration.

It has been said that the goal of parents is to work themselves out of a job. The same can be said for teachers and schools. At some point, children become adults and students graduate. A solid Christian foundation is essential for this life transition. A Christian education strengthens and reinforces the foundation being laid in Christian homes. Family and school, parents and teachers work together to build a foundation on Christ.

Dedicate a child to the way he should go, and even when he becomes old, he will not turn away from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Our 1:1 technology program provides each child in grades 3-8 the school use of Chromebooks. Our younger classrooms also have computers to allow children access to educational tools and to give the opportunity for keyboarding practice. In addition, we have interactive flat panels which are so much more engaging than the black or green chalkboards we may have had in class.

We enroll children who are four years old by September 1. Preschool is offered in the mornings on Monday through Thursday mornings.

St. Mark only offers full-day Kindergarten. Full-day Kindergarten starts at 8:22 AM and ends at 3:25 PM.

We understand that investing in a private Christian education is a significant financial decision. To help make our high-quality education accessible, we offer several options to support our families:

Discounts: We provide both member and multi-child discounts.

Tuition Assistance: Need-based financial aid is available for St. Mark member families who qualify.

Flexible Payment Plans: We offer manageable payment plans to fit your budget.

Every family's situation is unique, so we encourage you to contact the school office to discuss which options are available to you.

You may pay in full or sign up with TADS tuition payment program. TADS can accept credit card payment (for an extra fee) or arrange monthly withdrawals from your checking account.

Every student at St. Mark Lutheran School receives tuition assistance from the congregation in the sense that the tuition charged is much less than the actual cost of the education received. The congregation subsidizes the school as its primary mission work.

We recognize that God does not provide all families with the same financial resources; some families may not be able to afford the cost of tuition. We also recognize that as a congregation we are a family. Therefore, as a congregation family, we have made a commitment that our member children (and prospective families actively seeking fellowship in our congregation) will receive tuition assistance. Non-members may speak to the principal about their payment options.

No, you do not have to be a member of St. Mark Lutheran Chruch to send your child to our school. We would love to have you join both our school and our church families. Since we want to be transparent with you to know what we teach, we ask our new parents to join us for a Bible Information Class (BIC). This class will teach you what we believe and teach as a congregation and school.

We live in a world filled with evil intentions. At St. Mark Lutheran School, we strive to provide safety for our children through secure entry doors, camera systems, lockdowns drills, First Aid, CPR, AED training, etc. 

One of the greatest blessings of our close-knit school community is the genuine connection between parents, faculty, and staff. We aren't just a crowd of strangers at morning drop-off or passing faces in the hallways; we are a caring community that truly knows and looks out for one another. That care extends directly to student safety. Every adult who works or volunteers with our students undergoes background and reference checks, ensuring your children are as safe, protected, and valued as our own.
