One parent’s opinion on why they chose St. Peter’s School. 
Children are taught to be independent from the time they are 18 months old. They are also taught "grace and courtesy" which goes a long way to contributing to the peaceful culture at this school.

This school is not only for French speaking families. The diversity in the children's cultures really make this school unique. 
The complexity of timing for families choosing a school means making a school choice without knowing all of your options. For parents choosing between public schools in your catchment or via the VTP, charter, and/or private school options, it is a real problem. 
We were attracted to the reputation for educational quality, particular the emphasis on teaching. We also liked that the values-based education as well the quality of the non-academic programs.
