St. Mark School is staffed with experienced, dedicated, and award-winning teachers.  Our faculty prides itself on the stability, continuity, and community spirit of its members. The entire staff is licensed to teach in the State of Ohio and each member also has religious certification.

​

St. Mark teachers regularly upgrade their licenses by taking continuing education courses and working on innovative projects to enhance their teaching skills. All teachers meet regularly with their partner teachers and with other grade levels to assess the progress and current needs of our students. We pride ourselves on the use of the latest technology in every classroom.

​

With the constant support and partnership of our parents, the classroom becomes a place where education, faith, and dedication meet. Our shared belief is that a meaningful education meets the needs of the whole child: intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
