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!

Newsletter from our Principal, May 8

Dear Saint Peter’s Catholic School Families and Friends,

It’s hard to believe we only have three weeks left of school. This year has given us so many wonderful moments, memories we will all cherish. From yesterday’s Mass with Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune, CS. to the Purple Star Ceremony, and then our schoolwide viewing of Peter Pan Jr., it is truly a great time to be a Cardinal. The celebrations continue through this weekend as we come together to support our Drama Club. Let’s soak in these final weeks and all the joy they bring.

Congratulations to all of our Peter Pan Jr. cast and crew! Tonight is opening night, and it is a fantastic performance. We are incredibly proud of your children and all the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication they have poured into this production.

A very special THANK YOU to the Peter Pan Jr. team, teachers, and parents who have given so generously of their time, talent, and treasure: Mrs. MaryAnn Taormina, Mrs. Tina Calkins, Ms. Kate Laban, Mrs. Lynne Milner, Ms. Lindsay Craig, Mr. Brian Wegmann, Mrs. Shelby Feltner, Mrs. Karin Bennett, Mrs. Nicole Meredith, and Mr. Bruce Kimball. We could not have done this without you. Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to make this production possible.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our mothers this Sunday.

🌸 Mother’s Day Prayer Heavenly Father, Today we lift up every mother—those who gave us life, those who raised us, and those who have loved us like their own. Thank You for their strength, their patience, and the quiet sacrifices they make each day. Bless them with peace in their hearts, joy in their spirits, and health in their bodies. Remind them that their love has shaped lives in ways words can never fully capture. For mothers who are near, let them feel cherished. For mothers who are far, let them feel remembered. And for mothers who are no longer with us, let their legacy live on in the kindness we share. May Your grace surround them today and always. Amen.
