112 Marcia Place 210-824-3171 Serving Children Grades K3 - 8th www.stpeterprince.org Excellence in Education Within a Community of Faith | | We the members of St. Peter's Parish are committed to witnessing and sharing the love of Christ. St. Peter School offers our children an excellent education within a community of faith; a community in which the parish faith, values, and attitudes are reinforced and lived within an educational setting that encourages growth and self-esteem. Our children, formed in Christian values, give witness to the Gospel in the church and in society. St. Peter School is an expression of the parish's belief that each child is a unique gift of God and a special promise for the future. Each deserves respect, affirmation, and support in the development of his/her talents and individuality. The school helps each child reach full potential with awareness of being a child of God. We recognize the parents are the primary educators of their children. The school supports and reinforces the parents' desire to give their child a holistic education based on sound academics and Christian values. |
