St. Luke’s lower school continues to build upon the skills developed in our Early Childhood program. Each day, our students are given opportunities to explore, discover, and experiment in age appropriate ways. Our teachers create lessons that challenge ours students to think critically, work collaboratively, and problem solve. Children can then demonstrate their learning through hands-on creative projects and activities.
Lower School Curriculum
Lower school learning is enhanced with cross-curricular activities and project-based learning. We use Fundations, a Wilson Language Basics curriculum, to teach letter sounds, proper formation, and beginning reading skills. Students engage in both whole class and small group instruction. Teachers also build vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills through engaging read alouds.
Science and social studies are taught in units, providing hands-on driven projects. The material is revisited over months and across grades, leading to long-term mastery of facts, skills and concepts.
Students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade use the Mathodology Math program, which builds strong number sense through hands-on learning, visual models, and problem solving. In 3rd through 5th grade, students use Into Math by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, a program that emphasizes conceptual understanding, fluency, and real-world application.

Athletic Opportunities
We offer a variety of sports for students in third through eighth grade. By beginning school sports in third grade, we are able to establish the foundation for each sport early, providing an avenue for our student-athletes to evolve and grow throughout their tenure at St. Luke’s.
"My children benefit from a well-rounded curriculum that challenges them as individuals and helps to enhance their leadership skills."
