The Reformation had a tremendous influence upon the development of modern educational principles and systems. Consequently the parochial schools that were established by the Lutheran Church both in colonial and present times are intimately connected with the European movement.

    Lutheran education in America began with the Swedes who had established a number of settlements in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. the first Lutheran School recorded  in history was opened in 1640. By the time of the Revolutionary War there were approximately 70 Lutheran schools in the colonies. Pennsylvania had over 40 itself. History records at least 400 in America by the year 1820.

    Lutheran schools antedate the public school in America by 200 years. The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, of which our congregation and school is a member, was organized in 1847, Lutheran schools have been an integral part of the church's program from its beginning.

    Today our church body has over 1450 schools throughout the United States. The International Lutheran School in Hong Kong is the largest school of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in the world with over 2000 students. St.Luke Lutheran School is proud to be a part of the Lutheran school system and furthermore, proud to be a part of the American heritage.

    We thank Almighty God for the freedom we have under our Constitution to teach...live...serve...according to the beliefs and principles of our religious faith.
