Testimonials

“St. Peter’s Christian School provides education and ministry to our entire family. The exceptional staff creates and environment where learning, fun and love happens seamlessly. Our daughter dances with joy each morning when she knows it is a “school day”. Her academic development and interest have multiplied since beginning St. Pete’s. She now loves to learn. As a mom, I have tremendous peace when Katie is at St. Pete’s. I am able to accomplish things while she is learning, freeing up time to allow us to be together as a family the rest of the day. St. Pete’s has allowed us to enjoy family time together as we see our daughter blossom and grow in God’s love and learning.” Mrs. Behrens

Philosophy

At St. Peter’s Christian School, we create a nurturing environment where each child can grow socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually. We follow a Christ-centered curriculum, incorporating weekly thematic changes, Reggio-Emelia, and Montessori teachings to cater to individual learning styles. Our focus is on preparing children for kindergarten and offering diverse learning experiences.

Location

Located in Montpelier, Virgina centrally located between Louisa and Henrico counties right off of Mountain Road (Route 33).

About our program

Here at St. Peter’s Christian School, your child will learn social/emotional, fine motor, large motor, cognitive, and early literacy skills during a teacher-led, play-based thematic curriculum that changes weekly. We encourage the children to make their own investigations and draw their own conclusions whenever possible. The children attend Chapel every other week with Pastor Yun, enjoying Bible lessons and music. Field trips will be provided, as well as in-house special activities.
