Academics & Admissions

Creating an Environment Where Every Type of Learner Succeeds

 Academic excellence is the goal for every student, and St. Peter's teachers combine the latest technology with hands-on activities, traditional teaching materials, and project-based learning to set the stage for success. Our team of qualified and experienced educators takes a collaborative approach to a curriculum that focuses on the fundamentals of language arts, math, science, social studies, and religion. Students in Kindergarten through 8th grade also enjoy auxiliary classes in music, art, physical education, technology, and Spanish, as well as various electives at the junior high level. Optional after-school enrichment courses offer even more opportunities for learning and fun.

​Faith is the foundation at St. Peter's. We welcome students of all denominations, and are committed to helping children learn and grow with Jesus as their model. We begin in preschool, teaching important “Christ skills” like friendship, forgiveness, sharing, patience, gratitude and inclusion. Religion class and sacramental preparation are integral parts of the curriculum and students K-8 attend Mass regularly. The children live their faith through loving service: to each other, St. Peter's Parish, and the greater community.

  • Registration fees received
  • Available classroom space verified
  • Agree to terms of tuition
Tuition and fees
​St. Peter's School is funded primarily through tuition, plus fundraising efforts and a subsidy from parish tithing contributions. Parishioners are offered a reduced tuition rate in recognition that as Catholics, they are called to a stewardship way of life and are also supporting the parish through prayer, participation in the sacramental life of the church, and gifts of time and talent. Non-parishioners are welcome and are charged a tuition rate that is reflective of the cost to educate a child at St. Peter's School.

All parishioners are encouraged to support the parish financially through tithing. Tithing pledges from school families, over and above tuition, are very much appreciated but not required. Those who do offer additional financial support can be assured that their gifts help St. Peter’s to continue its long tradition of excellence in Catholic education and service to the community.

St. Peter’s Parish subsidizes a significant portion of the budget for St. Peter’s Catholic School. Therefore, in order to receive the in-parish tuition rate, a family must: 1) Be registered in the parish. 2) Participate regularly in weekend liturgy. 3)  Be actively involved in some form of parish ministry or service area. 

 St. Peter's offers a financial aid program for qualifying parish families who need help defraying the cost of tuition. We invite you to click on the link below and explore this option. ​
