Elyse is a St. Luke’s Global Scholar and lives in Greenwich.

“Painters are Global Scholars. Chemists are stage managers. Actors are team captains. You pour yourselves into everything you do and always make time to support others. Your manifold passions have made St. Luke’s a more exciting and engaging place. You don’t just fly; you soar.”

- 2021 Salutatorian, Elyse Kim, Attending the University of Pennsylvania
The Price family of Norwalk: Marley '25, Koy '21, Carey and Idris

“We came to St. Luke's because we wanted an environment where everyone is passionate about education. Over the years, we've forged friendships and, with the help of incredibly caring teachers, have built a wonderful foundation for our children. St. Luke's was a fit for Koy since day one when he met some kids at orientation and they clicked (I got ditched!). Seven years later, they are all still best friends. Koy has definitely grown smarter and wiser at St. Luke's, but we love that his compassion and inclusiveness have also flourished. Both of our kids have learned to step outside their comfort zones and that is great preparation for the future."

- Carey Price, Mother of Koy, Attending Bowdoin College
Cate is a St. Luke’s STEM Scholar and lives in Wilton.

“I love the person I’ve become at St. Luke’s and I want to remember her ... I can’t wait to look back 10 years from now at these memories and remember how lucky I was to want to hold onto this moment, these people, this version of me so much. Thank you, St. Luke’s, for the people we are right now.”

- 2021 Valedictorian, Cate Mathews, Attending Northwestern University
The Briggs family of Darien: John, Anne, Jack ‘21, Chris ‘24, and Ellie ‘27

“At St. Luke’s, Jack developed his love of computer science, engaged in two independent research projects, competed in tennis and squash, all while building lifelong friendships. Along the way, he was mentored by faculty that truly cared about challenging him academically and developing his passions. Jack leaves SLS truly knowing himself and what kind of person he wants to be.”

- Anne Briggs, Mother of Jack, Attending University of Pennsylvania
The Ayoub family of New Canaan: Robert, Nicole ‘21, Michele, and Chris ‘19

“Nicole started St. Luke’s in Middle School. She came after seeing how much her brother loved the school. Every year, we’ve watched her confidence grow as she tried new things outside her comfort zone. She played volleyball for the first time, took on leadership roles and even launched her own business. I look at her now and see a smart, kind, independent young woman. St. Luke’s has exceptional academics, but so much more. This is where my children became the people they were meant to be.”

- Michele Ayoub, Mother of Nicole, Attending Boston College
The Magnusen and Pescosolido family of Norwalk: Mark, Sarah, Audrey '21 and Layla '22

"We've witnessed our daughters become highly intellectual and aware global citizens, striving to be more than just 'participants.' They want to make a difference in the classroom, on the athletic fields and courts, in our community and in the world around us. They are truly active participants in life."

- Sarah Pescosolido, Mother of Audrey, Attending Boston College
The Libman family of New Canaan: Sharon, Alex '15, Katie '19, Hunter '17 and Brian

"The benefits of St. Luke's keep coming over time. When our boys come home from college and tell me how prepared they feel, I'm grateful to St. Luke's. Watching our daughter find her voice and self-confidence, I'm grateful. Saying goodbye is going to be so hard - this is a place that has given our children so many gifts."

- Sharon Libman, Mother of Katie, Attending Wake Forest University
The Truwit family of Darien: Jack '20, Jody, Alexandra, Cooper, Mitchell and Teddy '22

"It can be easy to lose focus on what really matters in life. We love that St. Luke's shares our values. They create a deep and genuine focus on academic excellence while nurturing each student's individual capacity to make a difference in the world. St. Luke's delivers on this front like no other school we know."

- Jody Truwit, Mother of Alexandra, Attending Yale University and Cooper, Attending Colgate University
The Frank family of Stamford: Tim, Ryan '22, McKenna, Kylie and Sarah

"My daughter and a bunch of her friends were recently gathered in our kitchen. They were talking about graduation and someone said, 'The thing about St. Luke's is - they make you so comfortable to be you.' That says it all. The kids are academically challenged, they're given a chance to lead and take risks, yet they always know it's cool to be you no matter who you are. You are encouraged to be your authentic self."

- Sarah Frank, Mother of McKenna, Attending Wake Forest University
