About

Open to all incoming St. Mark’s students, SM Strong Start is a free, four-day, three-night program designed to help our newest St. Markers acclimate to the School. 

From Wednesday, July 9, to Saturday, July 12, students will reside in the new Patterson-Sculley residence hall and enjoy our beautiful 210-acre campus. While here in Southborough, Mass., they will engage with St. Mark’s faculty and current student ambassadors, socialize with new classmates by the pool, sightsee for a day in Boston, get a taste for the dining hall, participate in classes and community-building activities, and make connections ahead of their arrival this fall. 

This program is optional, though strongly encouraged, and is separate from orientation. There is no cost to attend. Food and housing will be provided; however, transportation is not included.
