Academic Excellence Fostered By Catholic Tradition
The mission of St. Peter School is to teach, nurture, and model Gospel values in the Catholic tradition, while promoting individual growth and academic excellence.
St. Peter School has served students in South Jersey since 1927. Our general curriculum is set by the Diocese of Camden and our goal is for students to greatly exceed state and national standards for student performance. St. Peter School strives to be a school where faith and reason embrace; where our Catholic intellectual tradition informs and guides the latest advancements in contemporary education; where the pursuits of science and application of technology are placed under the gentle yoke of Catholic social teaching.
