Complete Student Profile
St. Luke's uses the Standard Application Online (SAO), a common application used by many independent schools. The first step is to Complete the Student Profile and submit your application fee in order to make your application visible to the Office of Admission.
St. Luke's school code is 6530.
Later in the process, you will use the SAO to submit Parent and Student Statements and to request recommendations and school records. -
Schedule Interviews
When the Office of Admission receives your SAO Student Profile, we will contact your family to schedule your interviews and optional campus tour. -
Submit Standardized Testing
St. Luke's has a Standardized Test Preferred policy. Students may submit scores from either of the two independent school entrance exams - the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) or the SSAT - or from any standardized test completed in school. While test scores are not required to complete an application, we still find the information valuable. -
