School History
Overview
At St Charles Borromeo School, We believe that the child is a citizen of two worlds, the temporal and the spiritual.
We believe, that as a citizen of these two worlds, the child must be able to live this present life fully, so as to attain his or her destiny.
Every child is a unique creation of God, endowed with gifts and talents to be nurtured and developed.
It is our purpose to teach the child the academic subjects for success in the contemporary world and, equally important, to guide and direct his or her spiritual, moral, and emotional growth.
We commit ourselves to the development of the whole child body and soul, heart and mind.
Technology is a new basic in today's classrooms and used responsibly and with the guidance of parents and teachers can enhance traditional classroom activities.
It strengthens teaching and learning. To prepare our students for a computer-based world, St.
Charles Borromeo School needs to upgrade its current technology. At the present time there are thirty computers in the school, all located in the computer lab.
To fully integrate technology into the students' curriculum there need to be three to five computers in every classroom from Kindergarten through eighth grade.
St. Mark the Evangelist School has been serving the youth of Harlem for over 100 years.
Founded by St. Katharine Drexel in 1912, St. Mark's was the first Catholic school for African-American students in New York City.
The school is accredited by the Middle States Association and is a participant in the Extended Day program through the Archdiocese of New York.
Our school day runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an optional After School Program until 6 p.m. This additional time has led to an increase in standardized test scores across the board.
The school has an extremely dedicated, enthusiastic faculty and staff with a low teacher turnover rate. Because St. Mark's has a strong sense of community and a warm family feel, it is truly a home away from home for many of our students.
St. Mark's is a school where the students are loved, challenged, and encouraged to reach their potential.
