Grace-St. Luke’s Episcopal School is a coed, independent school located in Midtown’s Central Gardens neighborhood. From two years old through eighth grade, GSL helps students develop mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually to ensure they are ready to achieve their full potential in high school, college, and beyond.

- -Students perform better academically and have more academic self-confidence
- -Students can be kids and are free of pressure from high-school agree students
- -Students get numerous leadership experiences

- -A change in ninth grade is good for students
3. As an Episcopal school, GSL is proud of its welcoming and inclusive community where families of all faiths and beliefs are welcomed.

The school challenges students to develop critical thinking skills, to value the beauty of curiosity, and to approach problems with creative mindsets.
