St. Peter's Catholic School

Driven by a Christian mission for over 170 years.

Since 1852, St. Peter’s Catholic School has been dedicated to academic excellence and forming foundations of faith in a family environment. Our year-round early childhood program serves children ages 2-4, and our elementary school educates students in kindergarten through 6th grade.

Academics

A student-centered approach in a traditional classroom setting.

We make the time and space to see each student as an individual.

Over 90% of our students exceed ELA and Math expectations.

Our curriculum is designed to challenge and intrigue.

We measure students by their progress, not just their test scores.

Foundations In Faith

The lessons of home and worship, continued in the classroom.

Teachings of the Gospel

We start and end each day with prayer... and everything in between is intended to instill in our students the values, morals and lessons of the Gospel.

Catholic Mass

Our students attend Mass each Wednesday morning and on Holy Days of Obligation.

Welcoming to all faiths

St. Peter's is home to students of many faiths and backgrounds – all benefit from the lessons and values of the Gospel.
