A Faith-Filled Foundation for Lifelong Success
At St. Peter School, we believe in educating the whole child spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially. Families choose us for not just our strong academics, but for a faith-based environment that supports student growth in every way.
From our welcoming community to our commitment to excellence in education, St. Peter School is a place where students feel known, supported, and inspired every day.
What makes St. Peter School Different?
Catholic Identity at the Core
Faith isn’t just something we add to the curriculum. It’s a huge part of who we are. Daily prayer, weekly Mass, service opportunities, and Gospel-centered teaching guide everything we do. Our Catholic identity helps students view the world through a lens of compassion, responsibility, and purpose.
Academic Excellence with Support
Our curriculum challenges students while offering the support they need to succeed with on-site counseling, academic specialists, reading recovery, Title I, and regular data analysis to support growth and tailor instruction.
A True School Community
New families are warmly welcomed, supported, and connected to our school community. Our House System fosters a sense of family and friendly competition. We go beyond education to build lasting relationships between families, staff, and students.
Professional, Caring Teachers
Our teachers are highly qualified and supported in their ongoing growth. We encourage continued professional development and collaboration to ensure we’re always evolving with our students’ needs.
Extra Opportunities for Every Student
At St. Peter School, we offer a rich variety of activities that help students grow in leadership, teamwork, and confidence. Students can explore their interests in the STEM lab with dedicated 1:1 iPad technology, ensuring a personalized learning experience without sharing devices. Opportunities outside the classroom like the Chess Club, Scouts, Jubilation Choir, Citywide Parochial Band & Choir, CYO Sports, IESA Athletics, Saints Alive, and FOUND encourage creativity, critical thinking, and leadership. Our students can explore their gifts and discover how they can share them with the world.
