The school has changed into a cult in comparison to the previous principal. If you are a big fan of the Spanish Inquisition, you will love this place now.

Prince of Peace is truly an extension of our home and family for our children! The love and support that the teachers, staff and priests provide cannot be reproduced anywhere! The academics provided are so rich and all encompassing - but it is the extras like the establishment of Catholic / Christian values, love of neighbor, development of character that make this school so extra special! I highly recommend joining this family and enriching your children with an education that cannot be replicated in any other environment!

We cannot recommend Prince of Peace enough! It is an ideal place to send a child so that they can be educated body, mind, and soul! In addition to having very strong academics (Blue Ribbon School) the school is devoted to raising virtuous children that love Christ and neighbor! The teachers there are amazing and see their role as a vocation and not a job. We cannot imagine sending our children anywhere else!

We feel a great sense of community at the school, an attribute that is important to us. The teachers are top notch and truly care about the well being of each child.
