Inspiring lifelong learners is at the core of all we do.

W
elcome to The St. Luke’s Lower School! The Lower School Campus, located on Japonica Lane, provides a positive and engaging learning environment for students in K-2 through the fifth grade. We believe that the foundations for a child’s educational success are developed during these early years. Our goal is to mold well rounded, independent, inquisitive students who are excited about learning and love coming to school each day!

Students on the Japonica Campus have an opportunity to travel outside the classroom daily for enrichment activities in library, technology, music, art, Spanish, physical education, and science lab. Our special subject teachers and classroom teachers work hand in hand to develop cross-curriculum lessons and activities throughout the school year. These learning opportunities help foster the growth of the whole child and inspire students to reach their greatest potential.

We hope you will schedule a visit to come see us in action! You can’t start too early developing a love of learning. Come see what being a St. Luke’s Wildcat is all about!
