1. PK – 8th Education allows children to be children and grow up in a tight knit environment at their own pace.
2. The teachers and staff all want to be here, love their jobs, work as a team and understand what it means to provide excellent well-rounded education for young people.
3. There are opportunities to learn public speaking skills and practice leadership skills at every grade level.
4. The Episcopal School environment behooves us to keep God at the center of everything we do starting with daily morning chapel, spiritual formation classes and service learning opportunities.

As a born again Christian, we are called to push back against the darkness and establish light. St. Luke’s is dedicated to beginning each day with Chapel, and Bible is embedded into the curriculum at every grade level. Teaching children the love of Christ, who He is, and who He has called them to be is kingdom work. How could you not want to be a part of what God is doing here at St. Luke’s?!

I always inform families when i’m out or if they’re looking for a school to put their kid into that St. Luke’s is where you want your child. The attention to detail each individual teacher gives to the children, all the way from PK3-8th grade is what comes to mind. They’re eager to help the students grow more from where they were the day prior, and to me that speaks volume. It reaches beyond the classroom as well. Not only do the teachers want what’s best for the students, but so do our office staff. From our Head of School all the way to the person at the front desk. They want what’s best for our children and work tirelessly to make it possible.

St. Luke’s values and protects children and childhood. Students are able to grow at their own pace, which means they aren’t forced into growing up too soon. When students graduate from St. Luke’s they are confident in public speaking and they have a strong foundation for high school and beyond. The Middle School Journey allows students to take what they have learned across their classes and apply their knowledge in real-world, cross-curricular endeavors.

I wholeheartedly recommend St. Luke’s to prospective families and faculty, as it embodies a unique and inspiring approach to education through the St. Luke’s Way. This philosophy is not merely a set of principles; it is a vibrant commitment to nurturing each child’s potential, fostering their growth not just academically, but also socially, emotionally, and ethically.

At St. Luke’s, every educator and staff member is dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where children can thrive. The emphasis on holistic development means that students are encouraged to explore their interests, develop critical thinking skills, and build meaningful relationships. This commitment to individual success is evident in the personalized attention each child receives, ensuring that their unique strengths and challenges are recognized and addressed.

Furthermore, the community spirit at St. Luke’s is palpable. Families, faculty, and students come together in a collaborative atmosphere, reinforcing a sense of belonging and mutual support. This interconnectedness fosters a positive environment where children are not only encouraged to excel but are also taught the values of empathy, respect, and resilience.

In essence, St. Luke’s is more than an educational institution; it is a nurturing ground for future leaders who are equipped to face the world with confidence and compassion. I have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of the St. Luke’s Way, and I am confident that any family or faculty member joining this community will find a place where they can truly make a difference in the lives of children.

From its beginning, the school has been such an essential ministry of St. Luke’s Church.
