About the Program
The Scholars Program is for St. Luke's seniors eager to forge their own paths. After identifying a field or topic that fascinates and inspires them, students apply to the relevant Scholars program. If selected, each student then begins a deep dive into their chosen area of study - very much the equivalent of college-level work - that includes extensive independent research, consultations with faculty mentors, and, ultimately, a formal presentation of findings during St. Luke's Annual Scholar's Symposium. Many Scholars continue their research after their presentation.
You may view students' presentations and read more about the Scholars program, "the highest form of independent scholarship here on the St. Luke’s Hilltop," further down this page and in these stories from 2021 and 2020.
