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 29

Dear Parents and Families,

As we come to the close of this school year, I want to take a moment to celebrate all that we have experienced, accomplished, and shared together. What a year it has been, filled with joy, growth, faith, and unforgettable moments that brought our school community closer than ever.

From the reverence of All Saints Day and the creativity of our Living Saints Wax Museum, to the energy and excitement of the Color Run, our students shined in every moment. We honored our heroes during Veterans Day Bootcamp, filled the season with joy during our Christmas Program, and reflected deeply during our Live Stations of the Cross.

We celebrated milestones like the 100th Day of School, lifted up our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, and recognized student achievements during our Awards Programs. Our students led us beautifully in Children’s Masses, showcased their curiosity at the Science Fair, and welcomed a special visit from Bishop Jacques.

This year we also proudly earned Purple Star Accreditation, honored our athletes at the Sports Banquet, and watched our 6th graders take a meaningful step forward during their Moving Up Ceremony. And of course, we all enjoyed a magical trip to Neverland with our school production of Peter Pan Jr., followed by the perfect ending to our year, Field Day, filled with laughter and memories.

Through every event, every challenge, and every celebration, you have supported our school, our staff, and me personally. As this was my first year leading the school, I am truly grateful for your partnership, your encouragement, and your trust. Your support has meant more than you know, and it has helped make this year a success for our entire community.

Thank you for sharing your children with us each day. Thank you for believing in our mission. And thank you for walking alongside us as we continue to grow, learn, and build a school rooted in faith, excellence, and love.

Wishing you a restful, joyful summer filled with blessings.
