St Peter's Catholic School

For those of you who may not know St. Peter Catholic School and parish, here is some important information to ponder"¦in 2012, St. Peter Catholic School will celebrate 60 years of service to the greater DeLand community and continues to be dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all students. Inspired by Jesus' life, students are encouraged to become participating members of the church and surrounding community. The faculty and clergy, in partnership with our parents, challenge our students to achieve academic and personal excellence and promote a community of faith.

Our philosophy reflects a thoroughness of instruction by addressing the intellectual, spiritual, cultural and physical needs of our students. We work to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviors which are necessary for our students to be creative, intellectually curious, self-motivated and self-confident. We strive to help our students become independent thinkers who are able to apply learned skills to daily life. St. Peter Catholic School has high expectations for each child and through praise and positive reinforcement; we produce self-confident students who know the value of hard work, the joy of achievement and the responsibility of respecting others.
