    Our daughter Macy has experienced a remarkable evolution at St. Luke’s. She has grown increasingly confident and independent and has developed strong leadership abilities, a profound sense of empathy, and social responsibility. St. Luke’s has played a pivotal role in shaping her character and preparing her for future success.”

    Our hope was for our sons to find and fulfill their potential, to learn about the world and how they might make positive contributions, to grow in confidence coupled with a service mindset, to develop critical thinking skills, and to find joy in learning. St. Luke’s has given them this and so much more.”

    St. Luke’s helped our girls thrive while preparing them for the next stages of their lives. What makes St. Luke’s different is how they cultivate young people beyond academics. They look at each student as a whole person and constantly challenge them to be the best versions of themselves. They now have the confidence to rise to whatever challenges cross their paths."
 

Two Divisions, One St. Luke's

From the moment a St. Luke’s journey begins, each year of learning anticipates and connects to the next year’s level of expectation. A cohesive academic leadership team works together to ensure that every grade is meaningful and provides a strong foundation of skills. Students who grow up at St. Luke's have confidence that they are well-prepared for each next step. Read how middle school students can Prepare to Thrive in High School.
