St. Peter’s School is part of the whole ministry of our church. While providing academic excellence remains as a major goal of our program, I feel the strength of our program is developing the spiritual potential of each child. I want them to recognize themselves as a child of God and see Christ as their personal Savior. I want them to acquire knowledge of and develop an understanding of God and His love.
I feel that the most effective way to achieve this is when home and school work together. The teacher helps the students to develop their God-given gifts and abilities while the parents help nurture this development by being loving and supportive of their children. I see the primary focus of our school is to provide the opportunity for students to find identity, purpose and motivation for their life in Christ.
