School Notes
- The process of shaping and building your child's future begins at birth. One of the most important decisions you will make for your child is choosing the best school; a decision that will have a profound impact on all of you.
- The decision to enroll your child at St. Luke's School ensures academic challenges and exposure to Christian values. SLS is an investment in your child's education but also in their moral well-being. Small class size provides a personal and safe environment which allows students to build self-confidence and maximize their potential. It is refreshing to see students flourish when they don't have to worry about bullying or wearing the latest fashions.
- We have combined academic excellence and embraced our Catholic roots to develop themind, heart and spirit of our graduates since 1958. Spiritual growth and development is nourished every day through prayer, reflection and instruction.
- Whether a 3 year old in our award-winning preschool program or an eighth grader about to graduate, the goal is the same; to produce Christian Leaders of superior Scholarship and Spirituality.
