Q. Is SLES accredited?

A. St. Luke’s Episcopal School is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS) and the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES).

Q. Do you have to be Episcopalian to attend St. Luke’s?

A. No, St. Luke’s welcomes students, faculty, and staff from all religious backgrounds.

Daily chapel continues to set the tone for all that is done at St. Luke’s, both as a Christian worshipping community as well as an academic one. Based on the Anglican tradition of Morning Prayer, chapel is a reverent time when the whole school comes together to worship, hear Bible readings, sing hymns, and give thanks. The Episcopal community emphasizes love and respect for all humans, moral integrity, and spiritual growth.

Q. Does SLES have age requirements for Preschool?

A. Yes

• 3 years old by August 1 for PK3
• 4 years old by August 1 for PK4
• 5 years old by August 1 for Kindergarten
• 6 years old by August 1 for 1st grade

Q. Do you have a wait list?

A. No, we do not have wait lists. If an applicant is qualified to attend SLES, the applicant is placed in a “wait pool”. The wait pool is made up of qualified applicants available to fill a specific opening in a specific grade. Wait pools are not prioritized lists. When an opening arises in a particular grade, the Admission Committee determines the placement of the applicant in the appropriate grade level.

Q. Are sibling and alumni candidates given preference in the admission process?

A. While our current families and alumni are very important to us, SLES is not the school for every child. Therefore, siblings, alumni, gender balance, and active parishioners will receive preferred consideration when all other factors are considered equal. Admission decisions are based upon the qualifications of the individual student.

Q. What is the curriculum at St. Luke’s?

A. St. Luke’s Episcopal uses Spalding Phonics Integrated Language Arts, Everyday Math, the Shurley Method, and Core Knowledge.

Q. What is St. Luke’s policy on non-discrimination?

A. St. Luke’s Episcopal School admits qualified students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students of the School. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in administration of educational policies, admission policies, and other school administered programs.

Q. Is financial aid available?

A. Yes, parents may apply for financial aid for students entering Kindergarten to 8th grade. Admission decisions are need-blind; therefore no financial information is required during the admission process. Students must be accepted to SLES and have their signed contracts and deposits in before a financial award is determined.
