*An applicant pool consists of all students requesting admission to St. Luke’s Episcopal School. It differs from a waitlist in that applicants do not receive a number for admission based upon the date of their application. It allows St. Luke’s to choose those students and their families for admission who best meet St. Luke’s criteria and share in the philosophy of our Mission Statement. Priority is given for the status of sibling, parishioner and alum, as well as gender balance and diversity.

St. Luke’s Episcopal School admits qualified students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin.
