The solid foundation built in fifth grade at St. Luke's prepares students to take off academically. Thirteen out of our last twenty-two Valedictorians and Salutatorians started here in fifth grade. When children are known and encouraged by their teachers, their confidence and abilities grow. Balancing a traditional curriculum—emphasizing strong math, critical thinking, and writing skills—with interactive, hands-on learning and exploration, our fifth-grade academic program sets the stage for a positive school experience and success.
