Unlike any other nonpublic high school in Delaware, Saint Mark's claims to provide an educational program for students of multiple ability levels with five levels of academic programs in most subject areas. At the Honors level, SMHS students consistently perform as well as or better than their nonpublic school counterparts and they consistently outperform students from Delaware's public schools, including its one selective public school.

Saint Mark's provides Delaware's most comprehensive Advanced Placement Program.

98.5% of the SMHS Class of 2006 will be attending a college or university, one third of these will attend the in-state University of Delaware.
