Our Graduates Excel...

"St. Luke's was more than a school to me, it was a place to grow up. St. Luke's introduced me to my best friends, who remain so to this day. At St. Luke's, I fell in love with lacrosse and I learned the skills I needed to participate in any group activity. I gained much more from St. Luke's than a first-rate education. I gained the skills I will use to be a first-rate part of society."

St. Luke's elementary program offers classes for grades one through four. Teachers provide an enriched curriculum that supports as well as challenges the individual student and instills an enthusiasm for learning. Class sizes are limited to eighteen students in first and second grade while third and fourth grade are limited to twenty. On occasion exceptions have been made to lower class limits to ensure meeting the educational needs of the students. Student progress is continually monitored and close communication between teachers and parents is maintained. Report cards are sent home each quarter indicating progress in academics, social development and work habits.

In keeping with St. Luke's mission statement of preparing students for life by providing a superior college preparatory education in a Christian environment, daily devotions are an integral component of the curriculum and weekly chapel services are attended by students and staff.
