Strive for Excellence

上学校 is where high school (grades 9-12) students take ownership of the learning process, both individually and collaboratively. They are guided by passionate teachers who set high academic standards and forge strong relationships. By the time they graduate, 上学校 students are becoming ethical leaders, insightful scholars, winning athletes, and talented artists. They demonstrate integrity, strength of character, 好奇心, open-mindedness, and a sense of social responsibility. Confident in who they are and who they want to be, they leave St. 路加福音’s fully prepared for their next endeavors.

St. 路加福音’s has established a reputation for taking the lead in rethinking norms and traditions that don't serve our students. To decrease excessive stress and constant exposure to digital distractions, we were the first private school in our area to introduce later start times (the start of school is now 9:00am across all grades) as well as limits on homework and cell phone use. We were also the first to introduce an original, Advanced 课程—courses that go "Above and Beyond" the traditional AP curriculum. This confidence to lead in education is driven by a mission and the explicit promise that a St. 卢克的 education will be 异常.

We owe our students the best possible learning environment we can create for their minds—and their hearts. We work with parents to create a partnership right through graduation day, preparing each young person for academic success and strong character in college and beyond.”

A Balance of Tradition & 创新

Our rigorous academic program balances traditional and innovative curriculum. St. 路加福音’s focuses on learning that lasts. If you can’t remember what you learned after the test...what’s the point? 学生, experiential programs inspire students who appreciate greater control over their educations. j项 (video below), Scholars Symposium, and Independent Study are examples of initiatives where students actively influence the learning process.
