I am parent of a 1st grader and a 4th grader. We have been at St. Peter's for 5 years. I cannot say enough about this incredible school . The fact that it is nurturing is well known but because the classes are small each child is able to develop a strong sense of self being. I have spoken to the admission
... Read more directors of Baylor, GPS and McCallie. Each director has said that St. Peters children are always prepared and tend to be the most well rounded children.

My child attended St. Peter's last year, and we decided to move him to a new school this year. The issue at St. Peter's is that the academics and enrichment activities do not measure up to the top-notch private schools in town. Many parents I talked to were supplementing the children's education at

However, a great school should excel in all facets of a child's development. . .and St. Peter's academics/ enrichment activities do not measure up. Lastly, for future potential parents, the posted tuition does not tell the whole story. Once our child enrolled, we were pressured with donation requests incessantly. The requests crossed the line several times (telling the kids that their class would have a special party if all their parents donated, etc.) Read less

Choosing St. Peter s church and school is the best choice we have made for our family.

I am always proud when my kids get compliments but I have heard many times from my sons middle school teachers, and advisors they can tell he is a St Peter s Kid . They say St. Peter s kids standout because of their kind hearts and acceptance of others. I realize this as a see my kids reach out to kids who need it. I hope I can learn from them how to be less judgmental and a little more loving. They are only giving back what they were given at St. Peters. Read less
