Welcome to SPS!

Education has shifted dramatically over the past few years, and St. Peter’s has evolved right along with it, moving our learning beyond classroom walls and into the rich history, culture, and diversity of Philadelphia. Yet through all this growth, our foundation remains unchanged: Character, Curiosity, Creativity, Confidence, and Community.

We focus intentionally on helping children build the skills they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. Preparing students for the future matters, but so does honoring where they are right now. We place real value on the journey of learning as it happens. That means practicing everyday integrity, holding doors, and saying please and thank you. It’s also reflected in the intentionality of building actual wooden boats, cultivating student leadership, and making time for recess for every student, every day.

Our alumni often tell us that St. Peter’s gave them the most meaningful foundation of their lives, and that they learned what truly mattered right here. We care deeply about educating the whole child, honoring the richness of childhood, and protecting the simplicity of being young.

We invite you to explore our website, stroll past our campus, or schedule a visit to see our community in action. We look forward to welcoming your family to St. Peter’s School. 

Warmly,

Matt Evans

Head of School
