At St. Luke’s, Advanced Placement courses are part of a broader college-preparatory experience that challenges students academically while supporting their individual growth and goals.

We are proud to celebrate all of our St. Luke’s AP Scholars and the hard work, perseverance, and academic excellence they represent.

Faith at the Heart of the St. Luke’s Experience

As an Episcopal school in Mobile, Alabama, faith is an important part of the St. Luke’s experience. Chapel provides opportunities for our school community to come together for prayer, reflection, gratitude, and spiritual growth while reinforcing the values of compassion, service, respect, and love for others.

Beginning the year in chapel also reminds our faculty and staff of the shared purpose behind their work. Whether teaching in the classroom, coaching on the field, supporting the arts, or serving students in countless other ways, every member of the St. Luke’s community plays an important role in helping our students learn, grow, and thrive.

Beginning the Year Together

At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, educating students means caring for the whole child –  academically, spiritually, socially, and personally. Our Back-to-School Chapel reflects that commitment and sets the tone for the year ahead.

There is no better way to begin a new school year than together – grounded in faith, grateful for our St. Luke’s community, and excited for all that lies ahead.
