Overview
St. Peter Tri-Parish School provides its students with a quality Catholic education in an atmosphere of mutual respect that fosters spiritual, academic and social growth.
Our philosophy of education emphasizes the significance of each individual's contribution to the Christian community and to society.
We recognize that, because emotional, social and physical characteristics influence the development of cognitive skills, we must provide for the diverse backgrounds of the students as well as for variation in learning styles.
Experiences to strengthen the recognition of similarities among people and to foster each student's development of a Catholic identity provide for effective Christian involvement in a multi-cultural society.
Commensurate with individual interests and abilities, each student can achieve an understanding of those concepts and skills that assure the fulfillment of the goals of our mission.
Saint Kevin School is founded upon the teachings of Jesus Christ and the doctrine and practices of the Roman Catholic Church.
God is made known to students in a theoretical sense and also in the real sense as an integral part of the school day.
Emphasis is on knowledge and understanding the Word of God and the translation of them into loving service to God and community.
Each child is recognized as a special and unique gift of God, worthy to be treated with dignity and respect.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to see Christ as their role model and to follow his example in their daily actions toward one other.
The involvement of parents and guardians is pivotal to the spiritual and educational growth of each child.
Parents are recognized as the first teachers, and their efforts in teaching their children the faith through prayer and Mass attendance are important in developing the child's faith.
Our educational programs combine traditional as well as current teaching strategies.
