School Notes

  • At St. Luke's, strong academics and community support are inextricable.  The close relationships students, parents and exceptionally skilled and caring faculty share distinguish St. Luke`s. On our Hilltop, the community is diverse and friendly and the culture inclusive.
  • St. Luke`s mission is to offer an exceptional education that inspires a deep love of learning, a strong moral compass, the commitment to serve and the confidence to lead. We accomplish this through an effective balance of traditional education enhanced by a forward-thinking environment. New ideas and concepts in education are embraced, risks are taken and educators and students have the freedom to explore what it means to learn and grow.
  • St. Luke`s designLab was recently launched and encompasses "mastery" engineering courses, a fully-equipped fabrication lab, and cross-curricular, school-wide, design-thinking challenges-including a 48-hour Hackathon, an annual Rube Goldberg competition, and a Middle School "Mystery Box" design challenge. Other examples include growing online learning initiatives, a One Plus One (iPad plus laptop) program in the Upper School, and a January Term where students step out of traditional class routines to work full-time, in groups, on "real world" problems.
  • St. Luke`s students are encouraged to explore and uncover new passions. In addition to a thriving visual and performing arts program, St. Luke`s offers several programs that foster self-expression, confidence and independent thinking. In the Middle School, Discovering Voices inspires students to experience new ways of thinking and interests. The recent theme of "Taking Flight" had students participating in cross-curricular workshops making their own hot air balloons, launching homemade rockets and mastering gravity-defying dance moves. Additionally, the eighth grade Declamations program is a right of passage where each student conducts a semester-long research project and presents to parents, faculty and classmates. In the Upper School, St. Luke`s signature Scholars program allows seniors to immerse in extensive research around classical studies, global issues, or STEM research.
  • St. Luke`s is the only independent school in Fairfield County to offer a Center for Leadership. The focus is on growing young people`s global and service experiences, while building lifetime leadership abilities (how to communicate, connect, advocate, work with and inspire others). Students enhance traditional academics with "TLC" skills (teamwork, leadership and communication).
