Leadership, Clubs, and Activities
Afternoon Activities St. Luke’s offers a wide array of afternoon activities to enrich the educational experience of our students. These include athletics, as well as theater arts, a school newspaper, and a variety of other programs led by faculty and staff. Students in grades five through eleven are required to participate in a fall season and a spring season afternoon activity; participation in the winter season is encouraged but optional. Students in grade twelve may request an exemption from participating in one of the three seasons. In exceptional cases, waivers of the activity requirement may be granted for students who demonstrate a substantial commitment to a sport that the School does not currently offer. Please refer to, and abide by, the following deadlines for waiver forms to be turned in, and for notification of acceptance or denial: Fall:
Application due by Friday, 9/10/21 Notification of acceptance or denial by Wednesday, 9/15/21 Winter:

Clubs Part of the mission of St. Luke’s School is to provide opportunities that go beyond the academic experience and contribute to the development of the whole student—that is the social, emotional, and physical growth of each student. Clubs broaden students’ experiences at St. Luke’s by providing them with an opportunity to participate in a variety of experiences. Clubs must have a faculty advisor and are overseen by the Director of the Center for Leadership, and the Deans of Students for each Division. Note that participation in a club does not fulfill the fall and spring season afterschool activity requirement. Student Clubs may engage in fundraising as approved by the Director of the Center for Leadership. For assistance setting up a fundraiser please see the Director of First Impressions. All
