INTRODUCTION

St. Peter’s Catholic School exists to provide an atmosphere of Catholic Christian community in which faith is integrated in math, science, social studies, art, music, library, physical education, and computer studies. Our education emphasizes Catholic, Christian values and prioritizes eternal values over temporal concerns.

The school community is concerned with the formation of the whole child: spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social. Teachers are both instructors and moral examples to students. We believe in discipline, as practiced in schools founded by St. John Bosco, using reason, faith and kindness.

Our students should graduate with a love for God, an appreciation for academic excellence, and a respect for self and others.

Non-parishioners (Catholics and non-Catholics) are welcomed and encouraged to enroll their children in St. Peter’s Catholic School. St. Peter’s Catholic School will affirm and foster Catholic Christian virtues and values to all.

OUR PROGRAM

St. Peter’s Catholic School offers a program to all students that is academically rigorous and spiritually enriching. Our curriculum is guided by the nationally validated Core Knowledge program which leads to the development of culturally literate students who have mastered the blend of content, concepts, and skills which defines the educated person.

Our middle school program offers high school credit courses in Algebra I and II, and Spanish I and II to students who have demonstrated the ability to complete these courses at an appropriate level of achievement. Starting in K-4 and continuing thru eighth grade, the Spanish program affords graduating middle school students the opportunity to be bilingual.
