Building “A Place”
for Students

From nurturing pre-K childhood development activities, through a challenging yet balanced elementary and middle school curriculum, St. Luke’s School offers one of the very best private school academic programs in Manhattan. Along the St. Luke’s journey, students find a place in the classroom and beyond.

A place in the
classroom

Our rich and rigorous curriculum develops confident learners who are both independent and collaborative

A place at the
table

We intentionally embrace diversity, inclusion, and equity—every person has a place at the table and every voice is valued.

A place in the
world

Our ethical underpinning guides our children in nurturing their social consciousness and their ability to face challenges with grace, courage, and resilience as they go into the world.

Dear St. Luke’s Community,

The Thanksgiving season brings families together and provides the space and time to break bread, share laughter, and reflect with gratitude. We are allowed to slow down the cadence of work and instead bring our energies to making and eating delicious food, connecting with others, toasting to loved ones, walking in the crisp fall air, and, most importantly, expressing gratitude.

Dear St. Luke’s Community,

When my dog Riso first came into my life in the summer of 2020, I was not–at least primarily–thinking about his role in any community beyond my immediate family’s. Coming out of lockdown in the spring, the New Yorker in me who had firmly resisted getting a dog for nearly a decade (“How will I have time to walk them?” “How would they fit in my apartment?” “I would never be one of those people with a dog stroller!”) quickly caved at the prospect of the love and support a dog brings to your life...

Dear St. Luke’s Community,

Last year when I wrote a reflection for the Newsletter, I wrote about community and challenged us to think about how we can each dig in and build community. One of the best ways to build community is to show up and be present—it’s giving your time and your talents. I am constantly struck by the different ways that this incredible community continually shows up...

When I was installed as St. Luke’s School’s 6th Head of School, students sang “This Little Light of Mine” as they passed a flame from their candle to the next, ultimately lighting the candle I was holding. As each ‘little light’ sparked to life, we were illuminated by our collective light: a light that was strong because it was held by so many. In the Episcopal faith and many other faith systems, there is the belief that within every human there exists a divine spark-–a light from which beauty, grace, and goodness shines...

Dear St. Luke’s Community,

“The health teacher? What do you teach?” Over the past two months, I’ve received this question a lot, especially from LS students when I introduce myself in passing during the school day. Naturally, I want to launch into a mini TED Talk about all the enriching, connecting, life-affirming lessons that make up comprehensive health education. But they’re on their way to P.E., so I better be quick. “In health class, we talk about taking care of our bodies, our feelings, and our relationships. This also helps us show kindness and respect for other people’s bodies and feelings and relationships..."
