Learning Center- PT
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, October 1st
As we begin October, we reflect on the beautiful celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, which we honored during our all-school Mass on Thursday, October 1. Our celebration included the annual Blessing of the Animals, a beloved tradition that reminds us of God’s love for all creation and our responsibility to care for it.
🕊️ Feast of Saint Francis
The Feast of St. Francis continues to hold a special place in our Catholic faith because it reminds us:
- Simplicity and humility can lead to greater compassion and clarity.
- We are called to care for the vulnerable, including the poor, marginalized, and all living creatures.
- Faith and stewardship of God’s creation go hand in hand.
- True joy is found not in what we have, but in how we love, serve, and forgive others.
- Community grows stronger when we gather, pray, and share together.
🙌 Join Us for Children’s Liturgy
Families are always welcome to join us for Children’s Liturgy every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. We love seeing parents, grandparents, and family members worship alongside our students as we continue to grow together in faith.
🎪 Fall Bazaar This Saturday
Don’t forget about the St. Peter’s Fall Bazaar this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If you don’t have plans, bring your family, friends, and neighbors to enjoy food, fellowship, and the wonderful community spirit that makes St. Peter’s so special.
📚 First Quarter Coming to a Close
It’s hard to believe that the first quarter ends on October 14, 2026. The school year is moving quickly, and our students have already accomplished so much. As we approach the close of the quarter, please watch for communication from your child’s teacher regarding conferences.
🏆 First Quarter Awards & Conferences
We look forward to celebrating our students’ hard work and achievements at our First Quarter Awards Ceremony on Thursday, October 22, immediately following Mass.
Parent-teacher conferences will also be held on October 22 and 23. These conferences provide a valuable opportunity for families and teachers to work together in support of each student’s success.
😇 Saints Wax Museum & All Saints Celebration
Our 4th-6th grade students have begun preparing for the annual Saints Wax Museum Project, where they will research and portray saints who have inspired generations through their faith and service.
On Thursday, November 5, 2026, we will celebrate our school All Saints Mass, followed by the Saints Wax Museum presentation. To help us celebrate this special day, all students are invited to dress as a saint for Mass. We look forward to seeing our hallways filled with examples of holiness, courage, and faith.
