Why Saint Peter School

Saint Peter isn't just a school, it’s a community - a family - and every little tradition we have makes it feel more like home. This truly is such a special place that values students and teachers alike. It has prepared me in so many ways for the new chapters of my life to come and for that I am so thankful.

My experience at Saint Peter School over-prepared me for high school. Mrs. Jorayeva encouraged me to take on more advanced math, and Ms. Clay made sure that I was ready for the expectations at Bishop O’Connell. Even though I arrived at SPS my 8th Grade year, the friends I made will last a lifetime, and I know my teachers will always be there for me.

SPS is more like a home than a school, where you can always return. My teachers still support me even though I have gone on to high school, and after nine years together, my classmates feel like my brothers and sisters. No matter the time or distance, we will always be able to pick up where we left off and keep going as a family.
