The School of St. Mark is a learning community in continuous pursuit of excellence - intellectual, spiritual and moral. The values St. Mark stands for are highlighted in the words Justice, Truth, Liberality and Peace. These words, and the concepts behind the words, provide the path to growth and personal fulfillment in union with God, communion with others and harmony with creation.

JUSTICE - Justice is the cardinal virtue that directs us not to take what is not ours, and to give to every man what is his. Without justice a civilized social order is difficult, if not impossible, to conceive. The virtue of justice distinguishes the full grown and responsible member of socially inadequate.

TRUTH - Truth consists in the perception by our mind of the totality of God's creation. The end result of this coming together of mind and creation is knowledge. This we must always and diligently look forward to not only when we are students but all the days of our life, for human life is enriched through its acquisition.

LIBERALITY - Liberality is the quality in man that distinguishes the generous from the stingy, the liberal from the narrow minded, the compassionate from the heartless. Liberality implies a certain amount of detachment from material things and commitment to the welfare of others. It is the distinguishing mark of those who not only appear but are truly great.

PEACE - When everything and everyone is in its proper place and order, only then there is peace. Peace has always been desired by man as the highest goal and remains forever his ultimate aspiration. But peace does not just happen. It depends on the presence or absence of justice, for peace is nothing else but the end result of justice. Where justice reigns there is peace, where injustice rears its ugly head.
