Catholic Schools Week 2026 – January 25th – 31st 2026 - JOIN US

Faith. Excellence. Community. A Foundation That Lasts a Lifetime.

As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, we proudly recognize the gift of a Catholic education — one that shapes hearts, minds, and futures.

At Saint Mark Catholic Academy, we are honored to partner with families in providing an education rooted in faith, academic excellence, character, and community. For over 100 years, Saint Mark has been a guiding light in Sheepshead Bay, nurturing confident, compassionate, and capable students from 3K, PRE-K and Kindergarten through Grade 8, "the Saint Mark Catholic Academy Way".

Celebrating Over a Century of Excellence

Founded on September 22, 1924, Saint Mark School has educated generations of students, building a legacy of strong academics, deep faith formation, and lifelong values. While our community and world continue to change, Saint Mark remains a constant — preparing students not just for school, but for life.

Our classrooms are enriched not only with modern learning tools and enhanced facilities but more so with dedicated educators who meet every child where they are. From early childhood through middle school, students grow academically, spiritually, and socially in a safe, nurturing environment where they are known by name and valued as individuals.
