The Path to Manhood

At St. Mark’s, we approach teaching the habits of character and the skills of leadership with the same intentionality we apply to teaching the academic disciplines.

Our mission is to develop boys into good men and to provide our students with essential concepts, virtues, and skills that will help them thrive and will, in turn, allow them to contribute to the well-being of their communities.

"The most important lesson you learn from St. Mark’s is how to lead and how to respect and encourage one another."

"St. Mark’s aims to prepare young men to assume leadership and responsibility in a competitive and changing world."
–from the Statement of Purpose
Founded in 1906 as the Terrill School for Boys with 42 students, today St. Mark's School of Texas serves more than 900 boys in grades one through twelve. As a school focused clearly on the education of boys, our teachers, coaches, and advisors understand and appreciate the unique nature of boyhood. With challenging programs designed to inspire, motivate, and stretch our students, St. Mark’s is a place where boys can be themselves, develop respect for others, and learn what it means to be a man of true character and integrity. Our mission at St. Mark’s is clear – we seek to develop men of character who will serve with intelligence, compassion, and integrity.
