St Mark’s School

St Mark’s School was founded by Joseph Burnett, a father of six boys, the eldest of whom was a student at St. Paul’s School of Concord, N.H. The headmaster of that private institution, which was founded a decade prior to St. Mark’s, suggested Burnett create a similar school in Massachusetts, one that Burnett’s other five boys could call home. Like so many St. Markers to follow, Burnett met the challenge that faced him. His goal was to offer a high-quality education, and to this day, St. Mark’s remains focused on excellent academics, providing a rigorous liberal arts program that stems from a classical tradition to prepare its students for the best colleges and universities.
