BUILDING FOR WHAT’S NEXT MARK DAY SCHOOL’S ANNUAL REPORT 2025-2026


MISSION

Innovative and full of heart, Mark Day School nurtures each child to pursue their curiosity, think critically, embrace challenge with courage and joy, and work in partnership with others to build more caring and inclusive communities.


FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL


Dear Mark Day School Community, Schools have always had a responsibility to prepare young people for a future we cannot fully predict. Over the summer I was struck by something that Axios CEO Jim VandeHei wrote as he prepared for a board meeting: “There was a discussion around six-month horizons. And I kept thinking: ‘This is pure fantasy—it’s impossible to envision our company and our world even a few months from now.’... For the first time, my confident line of sight is six weeks, tops.” In VandeHei’s words, we are living in an era of “post-processable velocity.” The opportunities and challenges our students will inherit are increasingly complex and interconnected. And the ability to think critically, adapt, collaborate across differences and continue learning throughout one’s life has never mattered more. At Mark Day School, preparing students for what’s next does not mean trying to predict precisely what that future will be. It means being deliberate about developing the capacities that will enable students to thrive in it. This work takes many forms. In the following pages, you’ll find direct examples of how we are helping students become curious, capable and adaptable learners who know how to challenge themselves, use powerful tools wisely and work well with others. In other words, people who are ready to face an unknown future. Our efforts are tied together by an understanding that runs deep at Mark Day: students develop capacity by exercising it. They become critical thinkers by thinking critically, collaborators by doing the sometimes-complicated work

of collaborating, and problem solvers by persisting in solving problems whose solutions are not immediately apparent. Guided and challenged and supported by their teachers, they learn by doing. At Mark Day, we ask a great deal of our faculty. We ask them to know children deeply while continuing to develop their own craft; to draw on research while responding to the particular students in front of them; to preserve what we know works while integrating what we are learning; and, particularly at this moment, to think carefully about questions for which education—or any field, really—does not yet have settled answers. That is why investing in our faculty and their professional learning matters so much. The strongest schools will not be those that simply react most quickly to change. They will be the ones with educators who have the curiosity, expertise, professional development, time and support to employ thoughtful innovation to transform teaching and learning. Investing in Mark Day means investing in a school that is continually looking ahead. Your support enables us to explore new approaches, respond thoughtfully to emerging challenges and prepare students for the world they will inherit and for the role they will play in shaping it. On behalf of the entire school community, thank you. Sincerely,

Joe Harvey Head of School

WE ARE BUILDING FOR WHAT’S NEXT How do we prepare students for jobs that don’t yet exist? How will artificial intelligence reshape the workplace? How do we prepare students to collaborate across cultures, perspectives, and experiences in an increasingly interconnected world? These are the kinds of questions that shape our work at Mark Day. Guided by research and informed by the changing world around us, we design learning experiences that help students develop the skills and habits of mind they will need to thrive in the years ahead. This work takes many forms. In the following pages, you’ll read about three of them—designing a new approach to learning called

competency-based challenge that grounds assessment and feedback in clearly defined skills and goals; guiding students to thoughtfully engage with artificial intelligence as it reshapes how people learn, work, and solve problems; and teaching students to navigate different perspectives and work across differences with curiosity, empathy, and respect. For donors, investing in Mark Day means investing in a school that is continually looking ahead. Your support enables us to explore new approaches, respond thoughtfully to emerging challenges, and prepare students for the world they will inherit and for the role they will play in shaping it.


Building Learners for What’s Next Through CompetencyBased Challenge For generations of students, pathways from success in school to success in a career were relatively stable and well defined. There were always, of course, exceptions to that “rule,” and each generation has had great examples of learners who saw exceptional opportunities and pursued them. The tech industry is particularly notable for this pattern. Perhaps more than any single moment in recent history, however, we are living in

a time where pursuing a career is much less linear—and it is an understatement to say that technology is changing how we work and live. There has never been such a premium on students understanding how they learn, where their strengths and strongest interests are, and where they have growing edges. In such a time, being able to chart one’s path as a learner is crucial. That’s the


idea behind competency-based challenge, an approach to learning in which clearly defined skills and understandings become the foundation for meaningful intellectual challenge and pursuit. This approach helps students answer not only “Where am I?” but “Where do I want to go next?” and centers assessment both on measuring what students have learned and on helping them understand and actively shape the learning process itself. Over the past several years, Mark Day faculty have been developing this approach to strengthen students’ ability to become agents of their own learning. That means helping students understand what their work tells them about their learning. What do they understand? Where are the gaps? What feedback can they use? And, critically, what should they do next? These are questions that shift students from recipients of an education to active drivers of it. Consider something as familiar as a math test. Students can learn valuable lessons from correcting mistakes, and we have long taken that approach. Our refined practice builds on that process, using feedback to identify the particular skills and competencies that need addressing. Using a framework built on “points” for given questions, two students might earn the same overall “grade” on an assessment but have quite different issues to address. For one, their clarity of communication (being able to reveal the problem-solving process) might be the issue; for another, it could be a particular element of their mathematical modeling that needs improvement. In refining the feedback that teachers provide, students then have more tools to make sense of their own progress.

“

Our students will encounter new technologies, new kinds of work, new problems, and opportunities we cannot predict for them. Their paths will require them to keep learning long after they leave a classoom.


Growth happens when we learn to examine mistakes, make sense of feedback, adjust our approach, and try again. Over time, that process builds the metacognitive skills—in particular, self-understanding and self-direction—that students need in order to understand themselves as learners. Competency-based challenge is designed to make that process increasingly visible and intentional. Assessment plays a number of important roles: it helps teachers understand what students have mastered and where students are growing and also provides feedback on how to shape the next series of learning experiences. Crucially, assessment increasingly becomes a tool students themselves can use to understand their progress. Attention shifts away from simply accumulating points or chasing a grade to building skills, deepening knowledge, and identifying the next step in the learning process. None of this is entirely new territory for Mark Day. Self-reflection, differentiated challenge, learning through iteration, and student

agency have long been embedded in the school’s approach to teaching and learning. Competency-based challenge builds on those strengths by creating a more coherent framework around them, and by asking students to take increasing ownership of the process as they grow. That ownership is ultimately what we are building for. The ability to assess where you are, identify where you need to go, change course, and seek out what you need is increasingly a requirement for navigating adulthood. Our students will encounter new technologies, new kinds of work, new problems, and opportunities we cannot predict for them. Their paths will require them to keep learning long after they leave a classroom. Preparing students for what’s next, then, cannot mean giving them a fixed set of instructions to follow. It means helping them develop the capacity to encounter something they do not yet know how to do, and think: I know how to figure out what comes next.

Preparing students for what’s next...means helping them develop the capacity to encounter something they do not yet know how to do, and think: I know how to figure out what comes next.


Integrating AI Into Teaching and Learning Through Thoughtful Innovation Our students are growing up in a world that is being profoundly transformed by the rapid development and adoption of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI). At Mark Day School, preparing students for that world means doubling down on what we have always believed— that children learn best through curiosity, challenge, reflection, collaboration, and the difficult work of figuring things out for themselves. Our mission calls on students to “embrace challenge with courage and joy.” That very intentional language feels particularly important now. Productive struggle is not an obstacle to learning, but an essential part of it. Students need opportunities to encounter genuine challenges, persevere when answers do not come easily, make mistakes, reconsider their thinking, and develop the social-emotional skills to keep going. As generative AI becomes increasingly capable of doing intellectual work for us, schools

must be particularly thoughtful about the intellectual work children still need to do for themselves. Head of School Joe Harvey describes this as students “shouldering the cognitive load” of learning. “For young people, who are in the essential process of developing their skills and competencies, they need to struggle and encounter genuine obstacles. They need to learn to marshal resources that do not do the work for them, but instead empower them to do the work themselves,” he says. “What we do here is spark the growth of intellectual pursuit and curiosity. That skill development requires them to carry the cognitive load.” This is especially important in a K–8 school. Students at this age are still developing foundational capacities in reading, writing, research, mathematics, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Before they can effectively evaluate what an AI tool produces, they need enough knowledge and expertise of


their own to recognize what is accurate, useful, incomplete, or simply wrong. There is also a larger developmental question. If students routinely turn to AI when something becomes difficult, they lose opportunities to practice perseverance and resilience. Research increasingly supports this concern. A January 2026 report from the Center for Universal Education at Brookings warns that cognitive development requires “effortful processing, mistake-making, and problem-solving” that AI can too easily circumvent. Used too liberally, the authors argue, AI risks becoming not a cognitive partner but a “cognitive surrogate.”

thinking before using NotebookLM to work with the information they had gathered. The foundational principle, borrowed from the work of author and AI researcher Ethan Mollick, is “humans think first, humans think last.” AI could enter the process in the middle as a tool, but it should not act as the starting point or substitute for students’ own judgment.

But that does not mean ignoring it, either.

The same reasoning that makes us cautious about student use of AI leads us to a different conclusion for educators. Our teachers are not novices developing foundational expertise. They are accomplished professionals who bring deep knowledge of child development, curriculum, pedagogy, and individual students to their work. For students, AI can too easily replace thinking they still need to learn how to do. For expert teachers, it has the potential to support and extend thinking they already know how to do. That difference is fundamental.

Students need both the space to develop their own intellectual muscles and the literacy to understand a technology they will inevitably encounter. We can protect productive struggle while preparing them to navigate an AI-rich world. Beginning in the middle grades, students engage in explicit lessons about how generative AI works, where it can be useful, where it falls short, and what happens when we outsource our thinking to it. They explore questions of accuracy, bias, intellectual property, creativity, and the rights of artists and other content creators.

Joe describes Mark Day’s approach as a both-and: “No technology changes a fundamental truth about learning: students develop capacity by exercising it. They learn to think critically by thinking critically, to write by writing, and to work in partnership by doing the sometimes challenging work of learning alongside others. And, for us as adults, we are always seeking to grow as professionals in our field. That means using AI as another tool in our toolkit and thoughtfully integrating this potentially transformative tool into our workflows.”

In carefully designed contexts, older students may also have opportunities to experiment with AI tools. During a recent 8th grade media literacy project, for example, students first conducted their own research and developed their own

Mark Day faculty have been exploring generative AI in education for several years through workshops, professional development, discussion, and hands-on experimentation. Used thoughtfully, AI has the potential to reduce time spent on rote

That is why Mark Day does not consider generative AI an appropriate tool for K–8 students’ academic work.


tasks, creating more space for teachers to engage deeply with students. It can help faculty develop greater complexity and depth in learning experiences, find patterns in curriculum and assessment data, and support differentiated learning that responds more precisely to individual students. In each case, the teacher—and their expertise—remains central. The opportunity, then, is to invest in human expertise so that our faculty can determine when, where, and how these emerging tools genuinely strengthen teaching and learning. That is one of the central ambitions of The Campaign for Mark Day School Faculty—giving exceptional teachers exceptional tools. The most important of those tools is the capacity to innovate thoughtfully, as we have been doing for decades. Philanthropic support makes possible summer institutes and other types of professional learning opportunities. Those experiences, in turn, fuel collaboration, experimentation, and the time faculty need to develop expertise with emerging technologies. AI will continue to change. The tools our students encounter one, two, or certainly five years from now will look very different from those available today. And we are preparing for it by investing in extraordinary educators. At Mark Day, our most powerful mechanism for navigating that change is our faculty: educators with the expertise, judgment, creativity, and curiosity to decide how innovation can best serve children. This is a transformative moment in education. Meeting it thoughtfully requires transformative investment in the people who make exceptional learning possible.

Students need both the space to develop their own intellectual muscles and the literacy to understand a technology they will inevitably encounter. We can protect productive struggle while preparing them to navigate in an AIrich world.


Understanding Different Perspectives, on Campus and Around the World The ability to understand different perspectives is one of the most important skills students can develop. Whether they are solving complex problems with people whose experiences differ from their own, volunteering in their communities, or experiencing life in another country, today’s students will encounter and navigate differences throughout their lives. At Mark Day School, these skills are learned through experience. Navigating differences isn’t reserved for international travel or cultural exchange, though there are opportunities for that. Students practice perspective-taking every day. They work with randomly assigned partners. They discuss complex topics where disagreement is expected and respected. These lessons happen every day inside our classrooms through discussion, collaborative projects, and moments that ask students to consider other ways of thinking. “When students encounter something that’s unfamiliar, we want their first instinct to be curiosity,” says Fernanda Pernambuco, Director of Partnerships, Equity & Inclusion. “Instead of immediately deciding whether something is right or wrong, we want them to ask questions, listen, and learn.”


This mindset becomes tangible in the context of our global partnerships. For example, when 7th and 8th graders travel to Costa Rica and Taipei as part of their world language studies, they quickly learn that being a respectful guest means understanding another community’s customs. Something as simple as removing shoes before entering a home or recognizing that dress norms in a beach town may differ from those in California become an opportunity to practice empathy, flexibility, and cultural awareness. Students also experience the reverse when our partners visit Mark Day when they watch our guests thoughtfully adapt to life here. When 5th graders work side-by-side with students from our partner school in Taipei, Ren-Ai, in the spring, they discover that there is rarely only one way to approach a problem. A math lesson might reveal different strategies for arriving at the same solution. A scavenger hunt through San Francisco’s Chinatown may suddenly place Taiwanese students in the role of experts, reading

“

signs or noticing cultural details that their Mark Day peers miss. Seeing both sides helps students recognize that we both have something to teach, and we both have something to learn. Mark Day’s long-standing partnership with Kliptown Youth Program (KYP) in South Africa offers another powerful opportunity to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Seventh graders reading Born a Crime by Trevor Noah in English class had the privilege of hearing firsthand from KYP’s Executive Director Thulani Madondo about growing up during Apartheid, transforming history from something read in a book into a lived human experience. And 1st graders, through an activity with our partners, discovered both similarities and differences during conversations about gratitude, kindness, family, and community, often realizing that despite living thousands of miles apart, many of the things they value most are remarkably alike.

We want students to understand that two ideas can exist at the same time. A student can disagree with a classmate’s perspective while still recognizing the thoughtfulness or validity behind that perspective.”


These exchanges deepen students’ understanding of other cultures and also sharpen their understanding of themselves. Hearing another person’s perspective invites students to question assumptions, appreciate experiences they may have taken for granted, and recognize that every person sees the world through a different lens. That ability to hold complexity—to listen without immediately judging, to remain open to new ideas without abandoning one’s own convictions, and to seek understanding before offering solutions— is becoming increasingly valuable in every profession and every community. “We use the phrase ‘both-and’ thinking,” Fernanda explains. “We want students to understand that two ideas can exist at the same time. A student can disagree with a classmate’s perspective while still recognizing the thoughtfulness or validity behind that perspective.”

As artificial intelligence reshapes technical work, these deeply human capacities become even more important. The future will require people who can collaborate across differences, build trust, solve problems together, and lead with empathy. At Mark Day, those lessons begin long before students enter the workforce. They begin around classroom tables, through conversations, partnerships, and experiences that teach students not simply to encounter differences, but to learn from them. This work is integral to how we’re preparing students for what’s happening now and for what’s happening next. Giving to Mark Day helps fund the global partnerships that provide the direct experiences that make this work come alive, and we are so grateful.

Join us for a dedicated day of giving to support The Mark Day Fund, which helps fund all aspects of school life.


WHY WE GIVE ANDY HECHT ’90

Andy credits the education he received at Mark Day School for giving him far more than academic knowledge. His teachers set him on a path to becoming a strong reader and writer, a confident communicator, and someone who isn’t afraid to take on a challenge. Those skills guided him through high school, college, and into a successful career managing Strix, a boutique mergers and acquisitions law firm in San Francisco. Some of Andy Hecht’s most vivid memories of his K-8 years took place outside of the classroom. He remembers countless chess matches played during lunch, recess, rainy days, and Saturday tournaments. Andy was part of the Saint Mark’s chess team that captured the 1990 National Junior Varsity Chess Team Championship. He also remembers spending a weekend on campus alongside classmates, parents, and teachers, using hoes, shovels, and rakes to carve a 200-meter running track out of an overgrown field. Looking back, those moments weren’t just childhood memories; they were lessons in community, curiosity, and belonging. When Andy reflects on why he gives to the Mark Day Fund, his answer comes back

to gratitude. “I give out of respect for the institution that was foundational to my educational experience,” he says. “It also reinforces the positive memories I have of my classmates, teachers, and the school community.” His yearly gift is a way of honoring the people and experiences that helped shape who he is while ensuring that today’s students can build memories of their own. By giving to the Mark Day Fund, alumni like Andy support a school where lifelong friendships are formed, confidence takes root, and students discover the skills and values that will carry them through a lifetime. Today, he and his wife, Ashley, are enjoying life as recent empty nesters while beginning an exciting new adventure: establishing a regenerative citrus farm in Placer County.


I give out of respect for the institution that was foundational to my educational experience.”


WHY WE GIVE THE BELANI FAMILY


For Sharina and Jay Belani, supporting Mark Day didn’t end when their sons, Shail ’19 and Roshan ’21, graduated. It simply entered a new chapter.

When the Belanis moved to Marin in 2005, they sought a school that reflected the values they held most dear. Sharina and Jay attended independent schools, and both sets of their parents immigrated to the United States believing education was the pathway to opportunity. They found those values at Mark Day: curiosity, empathy, community, and a commitment to understanding the world. Over the years, Mark Day became much more than a school to them. It became an extension of their family. They fondly remember traditions like the Fun Run & Pancake Breakfast—where the boys’ grandfather even joined the race one year—assemblies filled with student presentations and the beloved rubber chicken joke assemblies, and lifelong friendships with fellow families. Their sons’ experiences extended beyond campus through hosting students from partners in Costa Rica and South Africa and participating in the 2018 delegation to South Africa. In the summer of 2026, Shail served as an Alumni Fellow at Kliptown Youth Program, Mark Day School’s partner organization, in South Africa. A favorite academic memory is the eighth-grade

Family History project, which inspired students to explore their own immigration stories and deepened their appreciation for their family’s journey. Looking back, the Belanis credit Mark Day’s K-8 experience with shaping the confident, curious young adults their sons have become. “The love of learning they developed in those years is immeasurable,” Sharina says. She recalls Shail telling her during his first year of college at Northwestern that one of his professors reminded him of his beloved first-grade teacher, Geneva Conway. “She set the standard,” Sharina says. “That’s the kind of impact Mark Day teachers have.” Although their sons have graduated, their connection to the school remains as strong as ever. Sharina served on the Board of Trustees even after their sons graduated, and they continue to support the Mark Day Fund because they know the school’s impact doesn’t end at graduation. “Our relationship with Mark Day is lifelong,” they say. “Giving isn’t just about helping today’s students. Mark Day continues to enrich our own family in ways we never could have imagined.”

ENDOWMENT The endowment supports teacher salaries and professional development, brings socio-economic diversity that benefits every child, and keeps the school secure in volatile times. Endowment funds generate income through the school’s wise investment and support the school in perpetuity. The endowment principal remains intact each year as the school uses only a portion of the return generated to fund initiatives, with a spend rate of 4% annually over the past several years. Mark Day School’s endowment contributed more than $543,000 to the operating budget for the 2025-26 school year. That means that the earnings currently lower tuition by approximately $1,460 each year for each and every student. We are especially grateful to donors who chose to support the endowment as they are providing for the school’s future. In addition to the Unrestricted Endowment, the school has several named funds with income restricted to the areas below.
