St. Mark’s Institute is a Catholic Educational Institution guided by the fundamental laws of God and the ideal of St. Mark’s, the Evangelist. However, it does not deny entrance to students with other creed or religion because it believes in religious freedom although it follows all the Catholic practices. It also believes that for as long we do what is pleasing to God and adhere to our Christian obligation to love one another, then we are all on the road to salvation.
As a center of learning, SMI endeavors to maximize whatever helpful resources it can offer to students so that they can make high achievements in all of their intellectual pursuits and thereby, enable them to participate actively and critical in the real world of work, cope with technological changes and the diversity of cultures and belief. The SMI academic outlook believes that with their well-balanced intelligence and positive attitudes, students can better face keen competition and fit themselves to a constantly changing world.
VISION
As a school, its vision is to develop God-fearing individuals with self-discipline, adequate knowledge and social awareness to enable them to lead a fruitful life.
