School Notes

  • St. Peter's School has always been an integral part of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, and many of the leaders of the congregation have come to St. Peter's through the school, and/or have sent their children to the school.
  • Still, the school enrollment is mostly composed of non-member children, some of whom are not Christian or whose parents are not active members of a church.
  • This means that the presentation of the Gospel in the classroom and by the example of the staff and director are most important.
  • Weekly chapel devotions are also held under the direction of the Assistant to the Pastor.
  • The curriculum at St. Peter's has always been held to high standards of quality.
  • The curriculum of the Universal Pre-K class is authorized through the City of New York, and has worked well with the existing curriculum at St. Peter's.
  • District 19 Early Childhood Coordinator Terry Hecht has been a tremendous resource person for St. Peter's.
  • The academic curriculum initiated particularly in the Kindergarten, First and Second Grade classrooms was researched through the Lutheran Schools Association and its Executive Director, Marlene Lund.
  • St. Peter's is truly proud that its students have performed on average in kindergarten and first grade at a level more than one year in advance of the norm in all areas, including reading, math and comprehension, after taking an annual Stanford Achievement Test.
