This is a very common question. St.
Luke is not here to replace the public schools or to compete with
them. St. Luke is here to offer what the public schools by law
cannot—a Christ-centered education. The purpose of St. Luke
Lutheran School is to assist parents in the Christian training of
their children. What a joy it is to be able to talk about Jesus
anywhere, anytime with the children.
Making disciples is not a one- time thing; it's a life-long process.
St. Paul says in Ephesians 4:12 & 13, “...to equip the saints for
the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge
of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of
the stature of the fullness of Christ...”
That is the mandate of Jesus—prepare God’s people for works of
service and become mature in the fullness of Christ. Wow! Even
though we will never fully achieve that on this side of heaven, what
a blessing it is, as the body of Christ, to carry out His purpose
with His children. Here at St. Luke School it is our goal to
provide a Truly Higher Education—one that counts for eternity. |

"We
have been so pleased with our experience at St. Luke's. This is our first
year here and we have so enjoyed the atmosphere, staff, teachers and other
parents. We are confident in the education our children are receiving,
proven to us by the work they bring home, the extra-curricular activities in
which they participate, and the qualified faculty from which they are
learning. St. Luke's is a great place to send your kids!"
Ruth Ann Bowen
Mother of a 2nd & 4th Grader
"Through going to school at St. Luke, I was
equipped with a framework of faith that infiltrates every aspect of my life.
It still serves as the lens at which I look at life and affects the
decisions that I make on a daily basis."
Hannah Duttenhoeffer
St. Luke Alumnus
"The teachers and preachers at St. Luke have
dedicated hearts to educate our children, unselfish hearts to spend time
one-on-one with them, and loving hearts to teach them how a life with Christ
is really what life is all about. My children's foundation was lovingly and
firmly built at St. Luke. And so was ours, by being involved and making deep
and lasting relationships with other parents. I love that place!"
Lynn Capestrani
Mother of two St. Luke Alumnus young adults
"I
think back to my experiences as a child and student of the school; comfort,
love, and happiness fill my heart. As a student, I didn’t realize how
fortunate I was to hear the word of the Lord on a daily basis. The Christian
foundation I was given was built to be strong and long lasting to carry me
through my childhood, teenage, and into my adult years."
Angela Hawley Turner
Mother of two St. Luke children and Alumnus
"The
best term for what I had when I graduated from St. Luke would be a solid
foundation – educationally and spiritually. I was provided the opportunity
to explore the talents I was given and the encouragement to better
myself. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing."
Frank Skrip
St. Luke Alumnus
“Attending St. Luke School has inspired me to be
a better person and know Jesus more and more each year. I like the fact
that the teachers’ have been preparing me for high school and my future. I
love the foundation St. Luke has built for me in my life so far.”
Zac Hassler
7th grader
"When we began to look for a school for our children, we were
hoping to strike a good balance between a rigorous academic program and a
Christian education, and we found that at St. Luke. More importantly, our
children see and feel Christ's love every day through the teachers who care
for them. We couldn't be more pleased with the home our children have found
at St. Luke."
Shayne Garcia-Bish
Mother of a preschooler and 2nd grader
"I appreciate the attitude and commitment of the faculty and staff of St.
Luke Lutheran School to the gospel and to the students that they teach. It
is a blessing to have them as a partner in the Christian education of my
children."
Dan Casey
Father of a 5th grader and 8th grader
“Looking back on my time at
St. Luke, I was taught good morals and how to be a better Christian. I
was also taught how to be a better person and how to treat people with respect. Besides
being brothers and sisters in Christ, my classmates and I have become like a
true family and lifelong friends. I know I will always have them for
support along with the great teachers’ who taught me almost everything I
know. I will always remember my years at St. Luke.”
Amanda Hassler
St. Luke Alumnus
"Although it has been many years since my days at St. Luke, my
memories go back to the teachers, staff, and volunteers that "walked the
walk". Yes, they taught us about Christ's love, but they lived it out
in their actions and interactions. Most of the faces have changed, but
I still see a group of adults "walking the walk" in my children's education
today. And yes, by the way, their scholastic scores are among the best
in the country!
John Freehling
St. Luke Alumnus
"I am so glad to have went to St. Luke. Not only did they
prepare me academically for the real world but spiritually as well.
The entire faculty genuinely cares for each and every student, making them
mature disciples of Christ ready to face the challenges of the road ahead.
I also built many strong friendships that are still intact."
