Textbook Purchasing Information

Marist families are responsible for securing all required texts for their child's courses. 

"Textbook" is an overall term used for any "anchor text" or primary resource an instructor will use for their course. Anchor texts may be a traditional physical textbook, an e-text, and/or digital courseware and should be considered the instructor approved, first resource for learning and studying for your child.  

Helpful Instructions

Please use the following directions and the "important links and documents" in the right column on this page when buying course materials for your child. 

1. The textbook buying season runs from May through the first day of school in August. In May, thoroughly review the Marist Textbook List for the next school year paying close attention to any directions in the “NOTES TO PARENTS/STUDENTS'' column. 

2. In May, please consider taking advantage of BNC K-12’s Online Buyback Program and the Marist Parents Club’s Used Textbook Sale and Athena app.

3. The BNC K-12 virtual bookstore opens July 15.  Use your student's Marist identification number to "shop by schedule" or you may choose to shop by individual course to select and purchase materials. When applicable, BNC K-12 and the instructor will offer different versions of the the anchor text; e.g. new, used, or Marketplace Seller. Please have all materials purchased by the first day of school.

A quick note on required digital products. Families must purchase the digital license required by the instructor. The digital license covers all copyright compliance required by the publisher for use by our school and your student. All digital products must be assigned to the correct child using their @marist.com email credentials.

Any school supplies and organizational tools needed for a course will be addressed by the instructor on the first day of school.
