The Ansaldi family of New Canaan: William ‘20, Adam, Ben ‘23, Mary, and Teddy ‘25
“St. Luke’s provided our three sons with rigorous academic choices rounded out by excellent leadership, social, and sports activities. At St. Luke’s, there is no ‘hiding’ in the back of the classroom. Courses are challenging but captivating and taught with great passion and enthusiasm. The SLS faculty and staff are outstanding in every capacity.”

The Camerota-Lewis family of Westport: Nate ‘25, Tim, Cessa ‘23, Ale ‘23, and Alisyn
“Tim and I wanted a place that would create opportunities for our kids to shine. St. Luke’s gives them opportunities to showcase their unique skills and talents. Our kids say they apply themselves more because their teachers tell them, ‘You’ve got what it takes to do this.’ Ale, Cessa, and Nate consider relationships with teachers a big highlight of their time at SLS.”

"Izzy" in sixth grade and senior year with middle school teacher Susan Garnett
“St. Luke’s helped our girls thrive while preparing them for the next stages of their lives. What makes St. Luke’s different is how they cultivate young people beyond academics. They look at each student as a whole person and constantly challenge them to be the best versions of themselves. They now have the confidence to rise to whatever challenges cross their paths."

“Today is the day our journeys truly begin. We must strive toward justice and work to end injustice where we see it. But justice has another meaning. Doing ourselves justice means pursuing lives that fulfill us, experiencing joy, helping each other achieve our dreams, and ensuring that we spend each moment doing something we love." 
- Salutatorian Aarit Bhatnagar ‘22, who is attending the University of Pennsylvania
