The Value of Catholic Education We offer an education that combines Catholic Faith with Academic Excellence We set high standards for student achievement and help them succeed We instill in ALL students the value of service and giving to others – Pre K – 8 th grade We emphasize moral development, respect of self and others, and self-discipline We have strong Sacramental preparation in grades 2 and 8 The students attend Masses, Prayer Services, Stations of the Cross and learn to participate in their faith
The Value of Catholic Education (cont. ) St. Luke is comprised of Pre K - 8 th Grade in one building - older children are present to be examples for their younger peers Students in grades 5 - 8 have strong self-identity because they remain in an environment they are comfortable in, surrounded by faculty they know, and do not switch to a junior high A smaller school environment leads to a sense of community – we look out for each other at St. Luke School 32% of our teachers have been at SL for over 10 years – the faculty are committed to our children and our school and have a strong sense of pride in our students’ achievements – students are not just a number at St. Luke

Enrollment Current Enrollment is at 354 students We are preparing for the graduation of two large classes this year (current 8 th grade) and next year (current 7 th grade) – totaling just over 90 students Projected enrollment for next year (2018 -19) is 337 We have seen enrollment dips before. In 2009 -10, enrollment was at 318. We took measures to increase our numbers and in 2010 -11, we were back up to 347 we are working hard to increase our numbers again
2018 -2019 Tuition Schedule Full-Time Student Tuition (K-8) $6, 410 ½ Day, 5 Day (Pre-K) $5, 240 ½ Day, 3 Day (Pre-K) $3, 740 *This does not include sibling discounts
Historical Operating Model Net student tuition and registration fees cover only about 85% of the St. Luke education budget Fundraising helps fill the gap between what families pay in tuition and the amount it actually costs to educate a student 100% participation in fundraising is expected of ALL our school families
The Tuition Gap Per Student Education Cost Per $7, 030 Less Average Net Tuition & Fees Collected $5, 490 The Gap Per Student $1, 540 * These numbers do not include fundraising. They are based on the current enrollment of 354 total students and take into account tuition for full-time students (K-8), part-time students (Pre K), sibling discounts and students receiving tuition assistance which explains why the average net tuition collected per student is less than the $6, 175 that is charged for one full-time student this academic year
St. Luke School Fundraising Tuition Assistance; 47, 000 Walk-a-Thon; 74, 000 It is anticipated that fundraising this year will raise $328, 000 Dinner Dance, Auction & Raffle; 200, 000 Annual Appeal; 7, 000
Fundraising Still Leaves a Gap $328, 000 (in current projected fundraising) divided by 354 students (current enrollment) Leaves us still with a Gap of $613 per student
