Please note, whether you choose to apply through GTP or SAO, all applicants are required to complete St. Mark's application supplement and fulfill all of the recommendation requirements listed in sections 4 and 5 below.
Required Supplement: EMA's Character Skills Snapshot (CSS)
St. Mark's is more than just a place where your child will learn math, English, and science. Certainly the reason you're seeking to enroll your child here is because you're interested in an education that focuses on instilling character values and encouraging personal growth. Similarly, we know that your child is much more than grades and test scores. That's why we're asking your child to take The Character Skills Snapshot as part of their application. It will give us richer holistic information about your child, and show us areas where our community can help them grow, thrive, and shine. Visit the Enrollment Management Association (EMA) to learn more.
St. Mark's requires three current teacher recommendations: English, Math, and Foreign Language. Ask your current teachers to complete the forms after November 1 and submit them to our office by January 31. If you are not enrolled in a foreign language course, or if English is your foreign language, please submit the science recommendation instead. The Special Interest Recommendation form is optional. St. Mark’s accepts the Common Recommendation form.
Please note that both GTP and SAO applicants are still required to submit all three recommendation forms.
If you are an SAO applicant who used the "Any Teacher" recommendation for another subject; please ask your current foreign language or science teacher to complete a third recommendation for St. Mark's using the PDFs below.
Ask a school official to submit the completed School Report form and a complete transcript from the previous and current year. In addition, ask your school to submit updated grades through February when they become available. If you are applying through St. Mark's online application portal, please send your principal or guidance counselor an email invitation through the portal to complete the online recommendation.
Home schooled students are required to submit the Home Schooling Supplement. You may download a printable copy or contact the admission office to have one mailed.
If you have a well developed talent in the creative or performing arts, you may submit samples of your work for review by St. Mark's art, theater and music faculty. You may also submit athletic videos for our coaches to view. St. Mark's accepts athletic videos and art submissions via Slideroom. Please review the detailed submission instructions on the Slideroom website. If you elect not to submit materials via Slideroom, you may include with your application a printed art portfolio or athletic resume that lists your training and experience, repertoire or roles performed and honors received. For network security purposes, we cannot accept submissions via USB drives, CD, DVD, or email.
As our office begins to process applications, we will send each family an email with an invitation link to their St. Mark's online checklist account. Please note that while we process submitted items as soon as possible once they are received, we typically do not begin sending out the checklist invitation until late November or early December.
