Inspiring lifelong learners is at the core of all we do.
At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, we believe a strong educational foundation begins with meaningful relationships, engaging experiences, and opportunities for every child to discover their strengths.
Our Japonica Campus, serving students in K2 through fifth grade, provides a nurturing, intentionally small-school environment where children are known, supported, and encouraged to grow academically, socially, and personally.
Through a strong academic foundation and enriching experiences in STEM+M, science, technology, art, music, Spanish, library, and physical education, students develop curiosity, creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Our teachers work collaboratively to create
engaging, hands-on experiences that connect classroom learning to the world around them.
As part of St. Luke’s continuous K2–12 college-preparatory program, our youngest Wildcats begin building the knowledge, character, and confidence that will prepare them for each stage of their educational journey.
The best way to experience the St. Luke’s difference is to see it for yourself. We invite you to schedule a campus tour and discover what makes our Wildcat community so special!
