Apply to SLS

Join us for one of our events!

SLS 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. Fee waivers are available upon request.

SLS’  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.

When the Office of Admission receives your SAO Student Profile, we will contact your family to schedule your interviews and optional campus tour.

For families applying to St. Luke's School, we have specific testing requirements based on the grade level of the applicant.

• Grades 5-8:
  • Students applying to grades 5 through 8 do not have a testing requirement.
  • However, if applicants have test scores available, we encourage you to submit them as part of your application.
  • Additionally, applicants to grades 5 and 6 will participate in a performance task on select dates.
• Grades 9-12:
  • Test scores are required for students applying to grades 9 through 12.
  • We prefer ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) or SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test) scores.
  • We will also accept other state standardized test scores.

If you have any questions regarding the testing requirements or the application process, please do not hesitate to contact our admissions office.

The SAO Application must be submitted by December 7 to be considered for a mid-February decision. Supporting materials, such as grades and teacher recommendations, are requested and submitted through the SAO Portal and are due by January 11.
