Values & Mission

Our Foundation and Mission 

Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School, nestled in the heart of Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands, is a Pre-Kindergarten to Pre-College educational institution with a rich history and a clear vision for the future. 

Our school is built on the foundational belief that every individual is uniquely gifted by God, and it is our mission to help each student recognize and develop these God-given talents within the context of a Catholic educational community. 

Our approach to education is holistic, focusing not just on academic excellence, but on the spiritual, intellectual, and personal development of our students. We strive to form young people into morally upright persons, empowering them to become creative, productive, responsible, and critical-thinking individuals who respect and appreciate diversity.  

This mission is deeply rooted in Catholic tradition, yet welcomes students of all faiths, encouraging them to participate fully in our community as we pray, play, eat, and learn together. 

Our Unique Environment

The unique location of our school in downtown Charlotte Amalie enriches our educational offerings in countless ways. Our students come from diverse backgrounds across the St. Thomas and St. John islands, creating a vibrant, multicultural learning environment. The city itself becomes an extension of our campus, providing unparalleled access to historical sites, cultural experiences, and real-world learning opportunities that bring our curriculum to life. 

At Saints Peter and Paul, we believe that a solid relationship with God is central to every person's life mission and total development. This belief infuses every aspect of school life, from our daily prayers and liturgical celebrations to our approach to academic subjects. 

Our Commitment to Excellence

We recognize that education is a collaborative effort, and we value the crucial role that parents play as the primary educators of their children. Our school strives to work closely with families, maintaining open lines of communication and encouraging parental involvement in school activities. 

This partnership between school, family, and church creates a strong support system that allows our students to thrive. 

Our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning is unwavering. We aim to create a safe, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating environment where students can explore, question, and grow.  

Our goal is not just to prepare students for college or careers, but to form them into lifelong learners who are ready to actively participate in and contribute positively to their families, their church, and their wider communities.

In essence, Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School is more than just an educational institution. We are a community united in faith, committed to nurturing the leaders, thinkers, and responsible citizens of tomorrow. Here, guided by the teachings of Christ and the rich traditions of Catholic education, we are shaping futures, nurturing hearts, and building a legacy that will impact generations to come.
