Middlesex, you may apply online, download an application from their website, or contact them to request an application by mail. If you're international, you may prefer to apply online.

1. when will St. Marks start to offer Chinese?

2. are there any robotic team/club/program there? I know they have a good math program.

Thanks.

1) They were going to start offering Chinese last year and searched a Chinese lanuage teacher last year. However, they could'n't find a right candidate (the candidate should not only teach Chinese but
also should lead a certain program) and the economy cilimate
suddenly became bad. I think they will reactivate that plan pretty soon since economy is getting better these days. You can ask when
you have a chance to visit SMS.

2) I do not know about robotic team. But they have a good math program called Math Institute run by a college professor. The members of the institure are very smart kids. The program is excellent! And also I heard that the Biology research program in DNA is outstanding as well.

Is that right? : international students can get financial aid.

cdnhockeymom · 10-13-2009, 04:06 PM

We are Canadian and we received financial aid...so yes, internationals can!

Congratualtions! I did not know SMS offer financial aid to international students.
Do you know if they offer just to Canadian or to other nationalities as well?

cdnhockeymom · 10-15-2009, 10:08 PM

Sorry, I do not know...

cdnhockeymom and periwinkle, I hope you had a great time today if you came to SMS for the parents week. We enjoyed and had a great time yesterday and today there. It was awesome!

We were happy to see how well our child has adapted to this new situation. It was also great to meet so many families.

cdnhockeymom · 10-20-2009, 06:02 PM

We were happy to see the same although my son is truly amazed at the amount of homework and how many truly bright and inspiring students there are at SMS

St. Mark's traditional athletic rival is the younger Groton School. St. Mark's high school football rivalry since 1886 with Groton School is one of the oldest athletic rivalries in the United States, following the Andover-Exeter rivalry. The two schools have met in regularly scheduled athletic contests for more than a century. St. Mark's traditionally has a "Groton Day" celebrating this rivalry, just as Groton has a "St. Mark's Day" with the same sorts of festivities.

On Nov. 14, SMS Lions take on the Groton Zebras! and they will honor retiring faculty member and football coach Henry Large during the half time. he began working at St. Mark’s in 1965. He is the heart and soul of the tradition of St. Mark’s football, having coached in the program for all but three of his 43 dedicated years in Southborough.

But, SMS football team is not that strong, and I am afraid that they may not be able to win against groton. But, who knows? anything can happen in the game with the rival. If it snows, the game becomes even more exciting! The following video was taken during the last year's Groton Day.

I heard that SMS is preety good at Basketball. Is that right? They have won New England Championships for last a few years in a row. Correct me if I am wrong.

cdnhockeymom · 11-04-2009, 07:58 PM

Basketball team is supposed to be very good. My son told me the team just had a team scrimmage between all their own players and there were 20 scouts from various universities there...just at a scimmage between st marks own teammates! I saw one new student at registration that was 7 feet!
