Middle School
Our middle school program is more than just preparation for high school—it’s a transformational experience where students become confident, well-rounded individuals ready to succeed. By providing a supportive and nurturing environment, we ensure that middle school is not simply a time of transition but a time of growth, discovery, and success.
Designed for Growth, Guided with Care
At St. Luke’s, we understand that middle school is a transformative time in a student’s life—a bridge between childhood and young adulthood. That’s why we’ve created an environment tailored specifically to the needs of 5th-8th graders. This is a place where students can grow, thrive, and explore while receiving the individual attention and encouragement they need during these critical years.
Our middle school program is intentionally designed to meet students where they are—academically, socially, and emotionally. With small class sizes and dedicated teachers who truly know and care about each child, we ensure that every student feels seen, supported, and challenged.
A Curriculum for Confidence and Exploration
We know middle schoolers are eager to explore their interests and discover their passions. That’s why our program includes a rich variety of co-curricular offerings, from fine arts and athletics to STEM initiatives and world languages. These opportunities empower students to build confidence, pursue new challenges, and develop lifelong skills—all while maintaining a healthy balance between academics and extracurricular pursuits.
The Middle Level academic program is both vigorous and rigorous. St. Luke’s graduates will be exceptionally well-prepared for secondary school, having taken mathematics through Algebra I and typically earning credit for at least one year of high school Spanish or Latin. They will have conducted in-depth studies of works of literature as advanced as Homer’s The Odyssey, as well as extensive expository writing and regular public speaking. Middle Level integrated physics and chemistry (IPC) and life science courses lay a strong foundation for high school science. Students’ exploration of state, national, and world histories are completed with a capstone trip to Washington, D.C. in eighth grade.
