Ask yourself these three questions:

  1. Do you want your child in a small class (4 to 14 students), where he or she will receive an individualized education and lots of care and attention?
  2. Do you want your child to receive an excellent, rigorous education (based on state and national standards), so he or she can be successful in high school and college?
  3. Do you want your child to learn Christian values and a solid work ethic (based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and the guidance of Pope Francis), so he or she can be happy and successful in life?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, you need to check out St. Peter’s School!  We have openings in Preschool through 8th grade and financial aid is available.
