Our mission is lived out in our six key attributes or "Building Blocks" designed to provide your child with a firm foundation to succeed not only in school, but life.

 Our world is changing, sometimes faster and with bigger consequences than we could have imagined even a few years ago. It’s a tremendous blessing to be able to cling to God and His unchanging word. A Christian school, such as St Peter’s Lutheran School, is able to make Gods word the foundation of all that is done and taught. As parents, it’s our responsibility to”…train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). We want our children to grow up knowing Jesus as their Savior, so that they may live God-pleasing life on this earth and finally have eternal life in heaven.

We invite you to join the St Peter's family and embark on a journey to excellence. We will challenge your child to grow academically, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our faculty, is committed to developing your child’s gifts and talents in an environment that promotes the Gospel, values of respect, peace and service to others. Through the collaboration of parents, students, and faculty, our students are able to flourish and develop the skills and confidence necessary to succeed in high school and beyond.

As you explore the opportunity of providing your child with Christ centered education - we invite you to call us, or come by and visit us, and experience the family spirit at St Peter's Lutheran School.
