Saint Peter Claver's mission is to foster academic excellence in all areas of study, encourage discipline based on respect and responsibility, and develop a sense of service and social justice within our multi-cultural community.
We are deeply impacted by our African heritage and strive to provide an education that is grounded in Catholic tradition and influenced by the cultural diversity of our student body.
It is our belief that a family's ability to pay tuition should never stand in the way of a student studying with us, and to that end we have significant financial aid available! If you are interested in learning more about us, please contact our office at (651) 621-2273.
Tuition is generally instituted as ten payments of $140/month from September until June.

School Notes
Saint Peter Claver Catholic Church and School are an important
part of the history of the Rondo Neighborhood in St. Paul,
Minnesota. Rondo has always been a predominantly black neighborhood
where people know each other. When Interstate 94 was built in the
mid-1950s, the neighborhood was torn apart. To attract and retain
young families, the parish built a school in 1950. It was run by
the Oblate Sisters of Providence from Baltimore. The black
nuns were known for their evangelization efforts in the
neighborhood, and many came to love them. Lack of funding and low
enrollment closed the school in 1989; it reopened in 2001 and
became a founding partner of Ascension Catholic Academy in
2015.
