The school at a glance
St. Mark gives Wilmington families a Catholic elementary and middle-school option with tuition that incorporates mandatory program fees. It publishes separate rates for qualifying active Catholic stewards and other families. The lower rate has parish-registration, participation, and financial-giving conditions; it should not be presented as the universal price. Sibling and military discounts may improve the comparison, and admitted students can seek need-based assistance through FACTS. Families should still budget for care, lunch, sports, and grade-specific travel. The registration payment is credited toward tuition, so counting it again would inflate the annual bill. St. Mark is a useful candidate for a household that fits its faith community and wants relatively predictable core costs. Its financial-aid page retains older-cycle dates, making confirmation of the current application timetable essential before relying on an award.
Fee-inclusive Catholic rates and sibling aid options; stewardship conditions and giving must be counted honestly.
