St. Peter's School Philosophy
IT IS A SCHOOL . . .
therefore, our responsibility is to impart to each student a full academic program according to the mandates of the State of New York Department of Education and the School Board of the Archdiocese of New York.
We share, with the parents, the responsibility of equipping the children to the best of our ability, thus enabling them to enter schools of higher learning and ultimately preparing them to become self-sufficient citizens of the United States and of the world.
IT IS PAROCHIAL . . .
therefore, we should instill into the students a feeling of belonging to the Parish by the availability of the Parish Priests, by providing them with Parish activities of various types, and by striving for closeness between faculty and clergy. By all of these means we try to put forth an attractive close knit family called the Parish.
IT IS FINALLY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,
A ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL . . .
We are bound by the strictest accountability to inculcate into the minds and hearts of our children the pure Doctrine of the Church, as well as a loving submission to the word of God as presented to us by the Holy Father, a deep awareness of the real presence of the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, the importance of the Sacraments, a devotion to Our Lady, and, above all, an understanding of the greatest commandments of love of God and love of neighbor.
In the same loving atmosphere, we should treat the children with dignity and respect, and through our example, they will learn how to treat themselves and others with that same dignity and respect.
