Solid moral and values are taught here the ones this country were founded on. We are very pleased with the foundation St Luke gave to our children putting them in a position for further success in high school and college. There are many specials from robotics to chess, from music to computers, and Spanish. The teachers are very experienced and loving. The best was our kids loved going to school every day.

Actually a grandparent. Because of the schools lockdown in Carol Stream, where our grandson resides, we suggested to our daughter she consider St Luke, which was offering full time in class learning.Couldn't be happier with the choice. The boy is doing great, being challenged at above grade level, and has risen to the challenge. Most important, he is in a Christian environment and enjoying the childhood learning experience with children, instead of a computer screen.

As a parent of a preschooler I was the most impressed with:
- Small student body (every teacher knows my child's name :-) )
-The compassionate and caring faculty
- Computer class offered starting at pre-k
- Wood working classes taught even to preschool (for Christmas they made a little tree don't worry no saws or power tools ;-) )
- positive reinforcement with homework ( she brings home a worksheet once a week that takes about 10-15 mins to complete and is praised for the work when she turns it in; as a result she can't wait to show me her worksheet and do it!!!)
- progression of writing her name
- she knows Jesus loves her and that God created everything
Overall excellent school and so happy we found Saint Lukes
Absolutely love the environment and the sense of community within the school!

Saint Luke is a place that you want to put your child. It is a place where the love of Christ is taught and lived out. It will not take you long to find out how much the teachers care for your children and go out of their way to meet their educational needs. My children were very well prepared for high school, with all four of them placing in honors and AP programs. I am so pleased they had the foundation they received at Saint Luke
