A St. Peter's education is the sum of many parts. First and foremost, its academic instruction provides a thorough understanding of the subject matter at each level by utilizing both a traditional format and the best of modern methods.
In addition, St. Peter's strives to instill in its students personal accountability and social responsibility through leadership opportunities and community service.
A curriculum that is rich in traditions encourages a sense of continuity for St.
Peter's students, both past and present. Additionally, the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship is emphasized in the teaching of athletic skills.
Finally, a child's natural curiosity is nurtured into a life long pursuit of learning about himself and the world in which he will take his place.
