Letters of Recommendation

Admissions Policy — St. Luke's Academy

📄

Overview

As part of the admissions process, St. Luke's Academy requires three (3) letters of recommendation for each applying student.

👥

Who May Write Recommendations

Letters should be written by current or recent educators who know the student in an academic setting:

  • Classroom teachers
  • School administrators (principal, vice principal, counselor, dean)
  • Homeschool co-op or tutorial program instructors (if applicable)
At least two of the three letters must come from classroom teachers. Family members and family friends may not serve as recommenders.

Behavior and character — Respect, honesty, self-control, responsibility, cooperation
Social and emotional maturity — Peer relationships, ability to work in groups, resilience
Spiritual life — If known; attitude toward Christian instruction, chapel, and prayer
Overall suitability — For a classical, Christ-centered, college-preparatory environment

How Recommendations Are Submitted

The parent/guardian provides recommenders with the school's Recommendation Form and submission instructions. Recommenders should send their completed form or letter directly to St. Luke's Academy, not back to the family.
