"Freedom of inquiry, the sanctity of each conscience, and the inherent dignity of each person are highly valued. There is a strong focus on appreciating the diverse backgrounds, interests, and ideas of others, and that same focus is placed on the similarities that bind us together." --www.stlukeschool.org.
