Great environment and very welcoming atmosphere. Academics program is strong as well but it still leaves a balance to do other things as well

St Lukes Episcopal School is the best school in the City of San Antonio, offering a private and faith based education. I have seen my two children grow beyond my expectations, both in knowledge, and character. We have been at the school now for 5 years, and I have no doubt that it is a wonderful place to learn and grow for our children. St Lukes is a school but it feels like a family, always caring and seeking to take care of one another. Every staff member, administrator, and teacher knows my child by name, and knows who we are, that is one of the best feelings in the world. Teachers at St Lukes

St Luke's is a challenging program yet warm and nurturing. We moved from a very good public school and have no regrets!

We absolutely love SLES! I honestly have not one single complaint! We are so happy we found such an amazing community for our son (PK3). He loves going to school, has met amazing friends and teachers who cherish him and his sweet personality. He is also involved in an after school enrichment program -gymnastics and absolutely loves it and the coach! This is such a loving and special place. When my daughter, who doesn't even go to the school yet, was sick and in the hospital, I can't even begin to tell you how many people reached out to us with concern and love, asking how she was doing

We moved our daughter from public school in the Alamo Heights ISD to SLES five years ago and haven't regretted the decision. Even though the curriculum is accelerated, she is thriving with the small classroom size and the creative approaches to teaching. This is a great school for children with all kinds of learning styles, as the teachers make a big effort to utilize hands on learning, game oriented computer based reinforcement of ideas, and team projects that are actually fun, in addition to the more traditional approaches. The other great thing about this school is that the children are actually

St. Luke's really focuses on teaching the whole child to be a better scholar, leader and citizen in a loving, Christian environment. We love that every teacher and staff member knows our child's name and focuses the curriculum on how our child learns best. Our children are happy to go to school each and everyday. We feel very blessed to be at St. Luke's.

This school feels like family. My children are well-loved, and challenged every day to become the best scholars, citizens, and leaders that they can be. They come home happy, excited, and full of information every day, and their teachers are amazing. Happy to be a part of this community.
