About Our School

Our Mission & Vision

St. Mark Christian School is a Coptic Orthodox, Christian Classical school in Burr Ridge, Illinois serving children from six weeks old through 8th grade. We combine the Montessori method in the earliest years with Christian Classical Education as children grow into reason and expression.

Ancient Faith

Coptic Orthodox Heritage

Rooted in the Catechetical School of Alexandria, our school provides a warm, reverent, and scholarly environment where faith and learning are inseparable.

Montessori Beginnings

Early Childhood

In the earliest years, we utilize the Montessori method to foster independence, concentration, and a natural wonder in God's creation.

Classical Growth

Foundations & Beyond

As children grow, they transition into Christian Classical Education, learning to think critically, reason soundly, and express themselves beautifully.
