St. Luke’s Experience

Open House

Spring Tour

An intimate look at the school—while in session—that includes a presentation and Q&A, plus student-led tour. This is a great opportunity to see the vibrancy of our classrooms, arts, and sports facilities in action, and get a glimpse into the daily lives of our students.

Our Open Houses are a wonderful day on campus where families have the opportunity to walk around and hear from many members of our community in different spaces on campus. Our Open House dates fall on weekends while classes are not in session.

St. Luke's School (SLS) has never been positioned better to help students thrive - now and into the future. Come explore our beautiful campus on a guided Spring Tour led by our friendly and knowledgeable Student Ambassadors.

“Macy has experienced a remarkable evolution at St. Luke’s. She has grown increasingly confident and independent and has developed strong leadership abilities, a profound sense of empathy, and social responsibility. St. Luke’s has played a pivotal role in shaping her character and preparing her for future success."

- Jennifer Millones, Mother of Macy '23, Attending Northwestern University

“St. Luke’s provided our three sons with rigorous academic choices rounded out by excellent leadership, social, and sports activities. At St. Luke’s there is no ‘hiding’ in the back of the classroom. Courses are challenging but captivating and taught with great passion and enthusiasm. The SLS faculty and staff are outstanding in every capacity.”

- Mary Ansaldi, Mother of Ben, who is attending University of Richmond

“St. Luke’s helped our girls thrive while preparing them for the next stages of their lives. What makes St. Luke’s different is how they cultivate young people beyond academics. They look at each student as a whole person and constantly challenge them to be the best version of themselves. They now have the confidence to rise to whatever challenges cross their paths.”

- Diana Doré, Mother of Isabelle, who is attending Fairfield University

“Tim and I wanted a place that would create opportunities for our kids to shine. St. Luke’s gives them opportunities to showcase their unique skills and talents. Our kids say they apply themselves more because their teachers tell them, ‘You’ve got what it takes to do this.’ Ale, Cessa, and Nate consider relationships with teachers a big highlight of their time at SLS.”
