Overview
Saints Peter and Paul School is a parochial, co-educational, day school founded in 1955.
It is located in the heart of the Eastern Shore, an area populated by a wide variety of professional, managerial and rural residents.
The school serves an area of seven counties. The Elementary School shares its mission with the High School but has its own campus, principal, staff and faculty.
Our mission is to ensure that all students realize their full academic potential and can do so in a safe,faith-fillled, loving and warm atmosphere.
The Country School's mission is to provide an outstanding academic experience for our students. We do so by adhering to some simple, but time-tested and powerful basics: small classes, individual attention, and an appropriate level of challenge for each of our learners all in a warm and nurturing family setting. Our school, while traditional and structured, is also wonderfully innovative, rich, vibrant, and child-centered. Our program provides our students with an outstanding faculty and with a firm grounding in essential academic skills yet also engenders a life-long love of learning.
