We transferred to St. Luke from a local progressive school after having concerns of our kids’ learning, and could not have made a better choice than St. Luke. We have found an amazing school, with a thoughtful and well planned curriculum, loving and experienced teachers, and competent strong school administration. One of our daughters arrived well behind grade level in reading - the school has been amazing for her. The reading specialist has worked with her teacher to prepare a plan to help her learn and catch up, and we have seen wonderful results. And the improvement is not just academic - her confidence and happiness are way up.The parent community is also wonderful - very welcoming, very involved. We feel at home at St. Luke in our first year in a way we did not after three years at the other school. We cannot recommend St. Luke highly enough. Wonderful school, wonderful people, happy kids.

I initially fell in love with St. Luke School because of the environment and the Christian values that are part of the fiber of the community. There's safety and love that envelop the students as they walk in the door each morning. The love is given and received, and is almost easy to take for granted because it's just always there. The positive energy in the classrooms is due to the teachers and staff who have chosen to teach in a Catholic school almost as a vocation, as well as the children whose families have chosen this school. As a reading specialist and elementary and middle school classroom teacher, my trust deepened as I recognized the curricular knowledge base for which the administrators and teachers used to select their resources and programming. Their understanding and knowledge of brain-research-based instruction as well as their understanding of meeting the needs of the WHOLE child is impressive and unique in our present educational climate. Additionally, the partnership between the teachers and administrators has been instrumental in making the curriculum accessible to the students. St. Luke's is truly growing and nurturing critical-thinking, independent, well-rounded, soulful individuals.

St. Luke School has been a great place for learning and development for our child for the past five years. Her classroom teachers demonstrate an impressive level of expertise and tenure of experience. The school leadership creates a sense of community and there is a strong emphasis on being well-rounded. We find the phonics/reading curriculum to be especially outstanding and the special courses (i.e., art, music, Spanish, computers, social emotional learning and PE) to be very complementary to the typical coursework. Most importantly, our child enjoys going to school each day!

It's been going very well my education is going in a great direction and St. Luke is giving me very good opportunities to improve my education farther in the future.
