At St. Luke’s we are committed to the development and enhancement of the whole child. In support of this we view the family as the main source of security and identity for the young child. It is our ultimate goal, therefore, to achieve a fellowship of Christian love and understanding among parent, child, and school. St. Luke’s welcomes children of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.
