Overview
Saint Peter’s Catholic School is located in the coastal Lowcountry of beautiful Beaufort, SC. Currently, Saint Peter’s Catholic School is a K3 through 6th grade Catholic Elementary School under the Diocese of Charleston Schools Office. Our beautiful, thriving school has as its vision to develop “Saints and Scholars” in the Catholic tradition of excellence.


Curriculum
The curriculum stresses academic achievement within a Christian community where each child feels loved and respected by peers as well as by teachers. Vatican II texts are used so that our theology is in compliance with the bishops of the world. United with each other in meaningful liturgy and prayer, students grow in understanding of the Christian life. At St. Peter’s, we are attempting to “teach as Jesus did.” The Diocesan curriculum guidelines, consistent with the State of South Carolina guidelines, are followed for teaching all secular subject areas. The curriculum is marked by current content and fresh approaches to methodology. The emphasis is on principles rather than facts, on learning through problem-solving rather than by precept. We strive to offer a program which makes use of many sources of reading material, a wide variety of audio-visual and technology tools, and a multi-text approach to the content areas.

Please consider working with our wonderful students and staff and become part of our Saint Peter’s Catholic School Family!

📅 Looking Ahead to Next Year

Our calendar for the 2026–2027 school year is currently awaiting diocesan approval.

We believe these adjustments will help everyone return from breaks feeling refreshed and ready to learn.
