Technology and Library
At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, we embrace a balanced approach to technology integration, combining digital literacy and innovation with a strong emphasis on the enduring value of books and foundational learning. Our thoughtful curriculum teaches students to use technology responsibly and effectively, while fostering a lifelong love of reading, critical thinking, and problem-solving. By blending modern tools with timeless educational practices, St. Luke’s prepares students to thrive in a technology-driven world while staying grounded in curiosity, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences.
Technology at St. Luke's
Technology is utilized in an effort to reach all learners through differentiated instruction and to build a foundation for developing digital literacy. It is our goal that St. Luke’s students learn to use technology with the same ease as a pencil, notebook, or whiteboard. With that in mind, St. Luke’s became the first school in San Antonio to institute a 1-to-1 laptop program in our middle school providing each student in grades five through eight with their own laptop to use throughout the school year. The 1-to-1 program grants middle school learners opportunities to showcase expertise with interactive presentation tools; collaborate with peers through cloud-based computing; express voice and choice through monitored classroom usage of digital tools; and explore new educational modalities through flipped classroom models.
Students in PK3-2nd grade use iPads to support academic-focused learning, while students in 3rd and 4th grade transition to Chromebooks.
St. Luke's is proud to partner with The Social Institute, using the #WinAtSocial program in 4th-8th grade. Through #WinAtSocial, we proactively teach students how to make safe and responsible choices online. Additionally, we equip them to navigate technology - including social media - in healthy, high-character ways.
The Newman Library
The Newman Library serves the entire St. Luke’s Episcopal School community. A priceless resource, the library's collection of approximately 17,000 volumes supports the curriculum, provides for independent inquiry, and encourages a love of reading for learning and for pleasure. Library guests enjoy the sun-drenched space which boasts commanding views of the Olmos Basin and the city's skyline.
