Welcome, Prospective St. Mark’s Families!

We understand the importance of choosing the right school for your child. We hope the information on this page will lead you toward becoming part of our St. Mark's family. If you have any questions, please contact the school office at 626-968-0428.

Kindergarten through 8th grade enrollment at St. Mark’s Lutheran School is open to any child starting at age 5 (by September 1) through students entering 8th grade, whose parents desire that their child have a Christian education experience.

Preschool enrollment is open to any child between the ages of 2 and 5, offering programs of either 3 or 5 days per week. Junior Kindergarten is a 5 day per week program designed for students who miss the cut-off date for Kindergarten and want a program specifically designed to prepare them for the next year.

Order of Admissions

Enrollment priority is given to the children currently attending St. Mark’s; second, brothers and sisters of children currently enrolled; third, children of the congregation; fourth, children on the waiting list; and then it is open to any child in the community who would benefit from the St. Mark’s experience.

Each student is enrolled for a period of one year only. Re-enrollment is necessary each year and depends upon the successful completion of the previous grade, parent cooperation with the school, and fulfillment of all financial obligations.

Students with Special Needs

The administration and faculty of St. Mark's Lutheran School wish to remind every family that this school is not geared to accommodate students who demonstrate severe grade level deficiencies or behavioral problems. We will recommend specialized testing when academic deficiencies may be caused by specific learning disabilities and will assist in referrals for alternate school placement as needed.

International Student Requirements

We are currently not accepting International students for the 2026-2027 academic school year.
