Message to Prospective Families
Welcome to St. Peter Cathedral School, where we have been providing a Catholic education for the children of Erie since 1897. Our philosophy states that St. Peter Cathedral School is founded on the principles, beliefs and doctrines of Catholicism, which form the foundations for the effective development of our children.
The purpose of St. Peter Cathedral School is to actively integrate the spiritual and intellectual development of each child consistent with his or her potential. In order for this to materialize, the emotional, social and physical needs of the child must be met also. This strong academic curriculum is enhanced by art, physical education, music, and technology programs.
Parents are encouraged to be supportive and to become involved in all phases of their child’s education, both spiritually and academically. Through the teaching process, the teacher assists parents in helping the child form Christian values and attitudes. These principles and beliefs are the motivating factors that influence the daily experiences of the school.Understanding these various relationships between students, teachers, and parents helps us to grow as a family. This family unity enables us to convey Christ’s message in our community.
Mrs. Kathleen A. Lane
