Mission & Philosophy

 

Mission

Saints Peter and Paul Elementary School strives to carry out Christ’s mission by developing the mind, body, and spirit of each child in a unique opportunity for Catholic School education on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Through the education process, we help children identify and strengthen their unique God-given talents and gifts and empower them to fully participate in and bring about a more just and God-like society.

We are a parish-supported, co-educational school, providing a safe, nurturing environment for academic excellence to children from Pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Our school community also includes Catholic children from surrounding parishes as well as children of all faiths.
