St. Mark Catholic School has set the standard for private education in Collin County since 1982, serving students in preschool, transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary, and middle school. Committed to academic excellence and rooted in faith, St. Mark teaches the whole child: mind, body and spirit.
A nationally recognized curriculum incorporating STEAM programming and a state-of-the-art, curriculum based SmartLab® technology facility combine with highly qualified teachers, faith formation, service to others, interactive hands-on projects, a growth mindset, fine arts, physical education, and a focus on the parent/teacher/student relationship. St. Mark has twice received the U. S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Award, and was recently recognized with an Innovations in Catholic Education Award as one of the top three Catholic schools in the nation for technology integration.
By working together, the St. Mark community builds the solid foundation that 21st century students need for a successful future and a lifelong love of learning.
A teen’s journey is full of unique challenges that trigger feelings of stress, insecurity, loneliness, and fear. While some girls handle these experiences with strength and resilience, others struggle.
Similarly, many parents of teens experience stress, worry, fear, and questions about how to guide their teen through this exciting, yet challenging stage. They may offer their daughter support and advice, but it can go unnoticed or be met with defiance and rejection.
I can help.
My personalized coaching programs support teens in building confidence, achieving goals, overcoming obstacles, and gaining a sense of purpose and direction.
My parent coaching programs provide a fresh perspective, new approaches, and practical solutions to the unique challenges that arise when parenting teens.

WHO WE ARE
I Heart Learning is a one-of-a-kind model with one-of-a-kind teachers who celebrate each student that walks in our heart. It is our goal to enrich every student’s life with the education and resources they need to believe in themselves and succeed in all they set their mind to academically and beyond. We believe that the best way to teach a student is with love.
WHAT WE DO
We provide children and adults with a customized instructional experience and engaging resources to bring the FUN back to reading. We hope to also give strategies and support for the social, emotional, and academic difficulties that often coincide. Gaining confidence in reading helps students of all ages believe in themselves and increase their emotional well-being in all areas of their lives. By focusing on teaching, rather than tutoring, we help children grow by supporting them along their academic journey and making it fun along the way!
HOW WE DO IT
Utilizing a multi-sensory and hands-on approach, we use research-based teaching strategies to teach kids and build a strong academic foundation. Rooted in diagnostic assessment, we choose a systematic curriculum and tailor it to best meet each and every child’s specific needs and learning styles ranging from dyslexia to ADHD. Our goal at I Heart Learning is to create a fun and creative environment to foster a passion for reading and to build self-confidence. When given access to this premier instruction, students see up to 50% growth in reading scores in just a few months of instruction. In addition to higher confidence in reading, our students begin to believe in themselves and LOVE school again! We adore our I Heart Learning family, and know you will too!
GETTING STARTED
Every student begins with a skills assessment that helps us identify the right instruction for your child. No curriculum is a one size fits all, so we customize lessons based on each student and their needs. No matter the “diagnosis” we create a plan based on your child’s learning profile. Once our assessment is complete we will schedule a consultation where we will go over the results, work together with you to get to know your student better, and help develop an individualized plan to get your student feeling confident again.
Please save the date for our upcoming Admissions Preview, March 31st! For your convenience, we will have two sessions,12pm and 5:30pm. Visit our website to register for the event.
We’ll discuss our well-rounded curriculum that aims to develop each student’s physical and intellectual gifts. Hands-on learning experiences in the areas of math, science, social studies, technology, foreign language and performing arts are only part of what makes the learning experience here so unique. Our students develop a love for learning and service.
We integrate service learning into our curriculum because it speaks to the “and” in our name. We are a school AND a Community Center that believes we must be a part of the community our campus resides in. Every student that attends St. Philip’s is presented with constant opportunities to shine as an individual and to contribute to the community as a servant leader.
