Thanks for visiting the St. Mark Elementary School website. We are a small Catholic school, serving grades K-8, conveniently located in Venice. SMS is a nondiscriminatory school open to all children ages 5 through 14. We are a Catholic school and we welcome children and families of all faiths who are interested in the academic philosophy of our school. While we pride ourselves on our academic achievements, our goal is to help our children become active and confident learners who respect themselves and their peers. We want our graduates to have the academic and spiritual foundations to become responsible and involved people with well informed community and global perspectives.
Some of our school highlights are:
• High academic standards – Our students rank in the top 15% percent of LA Catholic Schools
• A parent community which is eager and engaged
• A cross cultural school in a diverse neighborhood
• Strong connections with Loyola Marymount University
• Excellent teachers and staff; half of which hold or are working on Master’s Degrees
• Well rounded curriculum with many creative and team sports activities
• Small class size allows teachers to focus on the child as an individual
• A very affordable private school option for the Westside community
• After school and Summer Camp enrichment programs
We invite you to explore our website to find more information about St. Mark, our mission, vision and programs. We are always happy to host a tour for new and interested families. Please don’t hesitate to call our office for an appointment.
Sincerely,
Nino Torres, Principal
