Serving students from three years old through the eighth grade
  St. Mark's Cathedral School concentrates its concerns on the personal growth of
each student—body, mind and spirit. To this end the school strives for a balanced
emphasis upon the academic, athletic and aesthetic—the sensory, social and
spiritual—in an environment conducive to the highest achievement possible taking into consideration each individual's abilities. It is our responsibility to work in cooperation with the families as we teach their children to meet resonsibilities, be considerate of others, face up to challenges, discipline themselves and develop lifelong habits of industry that will prepare them for further education and productive lives.
   As an academic institution, the school is committed to providing learning experiences that are lively, rigorous and beyond the norm. The curriculum is comprehensive and is routinely challenged to ensure its continued ability to provide enrichment beyond the essentials. Beginning with Scarecrow Day in Pre-School, growing to "pignics," metamorphic pancakes, and economic fairs in the lower grades and culminating with a year-long study of the water quality of Cross Lake for a Science Olympiad project in Middle School, the academic atmosphere is stimulating. Ultimately, it is our goal to serve as a meaningful prelude for the future, a future full of unknowns and yet embraced with faith and confidence by those who have passed through St. Mark's Cathedral School.
   St. Mark's Cathedral School is a member of and is accredited by SAES (Southwestern Associaton of Episcopal Schools) and is approved by the State of Louisiana.
