The need is great. the kids are deserving. and you can make all the difference.

All it takes is one visit to St. Peter’s to see what a mighty effect this small school has on young lives. Once you meet our kids, you’ll understand why everyone says the same thing: They are just so good.  We believe that’s because we care deeply about each and every one of our students and give them the most solid academic, faith and service foundation possible. And their success—in high school, in college, and beyond—is our highest reward. 

WHY YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL 

Though we do everything we can to keep our tuition low, the burden for our families is substantial. 

Our total cost for educating each child at St. Peter’s is nearly $10,000, but because we are committed to making our school accessible to all students who want to come here, tuition is only $5,300 per child, the lowest in the Archdiocese. This means we have a significant deficit each year, and we rely on generous donors to bridge the gap. 

And even after receiving generous financial aid, most of our families cannot afford to pay the reduced tuition in full; 75% of our families live below the federal poverty line and many, many more are living just above. In fact, some of our parents stop by the office every few weeks to pay their children’s tuition in cash—$50 or $100 at a time—whenever they have the extra money. 

That’s why the generosity of individuals and foundations is so important. Your tax-deductible gift, no matter the size, will help us make up the difference in our expenses versus our tuition—and will make a huge difference in the lives of our students and their families.
