The implementation of the St. Mark’s 2020 Strategic Plan has been hugely successful, with so much happening with the new Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning, in the areas of STEM education, and involving the School’s Global Initiative that is really no longer just a “plan” for St. Mark’s future, but a vibrantly real, ongoing part of St. Mark’s present. There is so much to share, and this blog will endeavor to bring what’s happening now at St. Mark’s regarding these fields to your attention as they happen and we continue to transform.

If St. Mark’s graduates are to compete successfully in a world of technological innovation and global competition, it is important for them to develop an understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math, and to learn how to apply their knowledge of STEM subjects to the world around them.

In our complex, increasingly interdependent, world, it is becoming an imperative that students have the ability to collaborate across cultures. Effective collaboration requires the ability to see and appreciate the beauty that exists in the variety of cultures of the world, and an appreciation of the human universals that make all people more similar than different. St. Mark’s must develop within its students an understanding of the dimensions of the global community and their responsibility as citizens within that community.
