My daughter has been attending St. Luke's for 6 years and it has been a wonderful school for our family. Each day begins with Chapel and the academics are challenging in a nurturing, supportive environment. She has had opportunities to participate in meaningful community service opportunities, she takes several wonderful dance classes on campus and the teachers are the best! I highly recommend St. Luke's!

This is our first year at the school and we have been blown away by how much effort the school puts in to welcoming new families. I have had many conversations with several parents who have had their kids there for years and their feedback is always positive. As far as our PreK experience I have observed that my child's teachers are very committed to provide the best educational experience for our kids. They take their jobs very seriously and foster the joy of reading in the children, which I really like. The parent community is very respectful, and everybody strives to be cordial to one another and there is an intentional effort to keep it this way. I am grateful that my daughter gets to go to school here every day, and my husband and I are grateful we found such an amazing community.

My daughter is in PreK-3 and she absolutely LOVES St. Luke`s Episcopal. She calls it "the happy school". She used to cry whenever I dropped her off at her old school but that has never happened since she started at St. Luke`s. I live in a very good school district but I will keep her here. I just know that they will love my daughter and teach her good values.

St. Luke's has been an excellent environment for my child. She has been a student there for more than 5 years and is thriving. The classroom size has allowed her to grow her knowledge and confidence. The school has allowed her many opportunities I don't think she would have experienced at a public school. She has participated in public speaking opportunities at least annually, sports teams at school, acolyting, televised school news among other things.
