Secondary School Placement

In this Section
EDUCATION BEYOND SPS

At St. Peter’s School, we recognize the importance of selecting a secondary school that will best fit the needs of each of our graduates. Our Secondary School Placement Director works closely with Upper School students and their families to guide them through this critical process.

Secondary School Info Night

The Placement process begins with a Secondary School Information Night, held every Spring for current Sixth and Seventh Grade families. Representatives from independent day and boarding schools are in attendance to answer questions and share information about their respective schools.
