Our kids transferred to St. Peter a year ago and they absolutely love it. The smaller classroom sizes and the amazing teachers/administration are a perfect combination. The teachers go above and beyond. Our kids are excelling academically. They offer sports, art, music, and Spanish!

Our children began attending St. Peter Lutheran School when Covid started. We pulled our kids out of public school because of the uncertainty of in-school learning at the time. Making the move to St. Peter was the best decision we made! The education our children received at St. Peter was beyond our expectations. We were welcomed into the school and church community with open arms, though we are not Lutheran. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make learning fun. Class sizes are smaller and teachers can focus more with each student one on one. There are dress codes that are followed and I believe this helps the child learn what is appropriate for the real world. Sports and clubs are also available, along with before school and after school care. Kids also have the opportunity to attend daily summer day camp with lots of planned, fun activities. We are so happy we made the move to St. Peter and have no regrets.

St. Peter is a family! I am an alumni, parent, and employee. My experience has many layers. I would most definitely recommend St. Peter Lutheran Church and School to all parents with children of all ages. The staff is dedicated and caring. Your child's wellbeing is their first priority. Small class sizes = big results!

St. Peter is an outstanding school with continued focus on the social, academic and spiritual needs of each and every student. The academics at this school are astonishing. The small class sizes allow for individualized and tailored attention to you child’s academic path. Under the loving eyes of the truly amazing staff at this school, students are well prepared for success. We love everything about this school and are so thankful to be a part of it.

I am a St. Peter parent and alum. Even though Collins Elementary is in my backyard, I choose to send my kids to St. Peter. That's how strongly I feel about their academic program and how exceedingly prepared I was for high school after graduating from St. Peter.My eldest is reading 2 grade levels above her own and recently tested in the top 2% nationally in math. In the areas where she struggles (Speech), they have been able to provide the extra help she needs. As much as I like to think that my kid is special, these high standards and personalized attention are school wide and not exclusive to just a few. For a child that is normally shy and anxious, she is thriving at St. Peter. The wonderful teachers have ignited her passion to learn. The community between parents and faculty really something special and unique. Everyone is warm and welcoming, helpful and gracious. As the saying goes, "It takes a village...", and at St. Peter, that village is at your fingertips.

Very unprofessional staff and gossipy and judgmental parents. If you want your child to feel horrible about herself from an early age, choose St. Peter.

St. Peter's School, is the best kept secret in Schaumburg. The entire staff, from teachers to office are all very loving and dedicated to their work and care about their students far more than I have ever seen in a public school in this area. Thank you, St. Peter's for giving my son the tools to succeed in school and the confidence to strive to do better.

We have been very pleased with our experience at St Peter. One child has already graduated from St Peter and is excelling in high school, and the other will be wrapping up middle school. The older one started in Kindergarten, and the other has been attending St Peter since preschool. We are impressed with the education they've received, and are thankful they have a firm foundation in Christ, as well. The teachers are awesome! There are also many extra-curricular activities offered, and PTL is amazing! We highly recommend this school - St Peter is part of our family!

St. Peter's has been a blessing to our family. Our oldest graduated from 8th grade at St. Peter's in 2017. She now attends Conant HS and feels exceedingly prepared compared to other classmates in her current high school classes. We also have 4 children currently attending St. Peter and we couldn't be happier with not only their academic progress, but with the well rounded individuals they are becoming. They take part in many extra-curricular activities at St. Peter (Choir, Cross Country, Basketball and Track to name a few). They also get to participate in numerous performances a year (Advent Services, Operetta's and Singing in Church). They are exposed to many learning experience 'off-campus' on the numerous field trips they take throughout the school year. They participate in Science Fairs, Spelling Bees, Geography Bees and the list could go on. Above all, St. Peter's has contributed to their moral compass that will serve them well in their future endeavors. We are so blessed to call St. Peter "FAMILY!"

Extremely unprofessional and gossipy. Staff has no issues with putting their hands on your child.

The school has been great for my daughter. She use to be the shyest girl who would hide and has progressed to become a outgoing happy girl. We plan on continuing throught the 8th grade. Small class sizes, caring long term teachers, and a family style environment among all the families. Parents are dedicated and reinvest in there kids who attend this school. Between this collaberation of parents, teachers, and faculty its no wonder these kids advance at a fast rate.

My daughter graduated from St. Peter this past May. She attended for 11 years (3yr old preschool - 8th grade). In that time I felt a true partnership with the faculty and staff in her education, both academically and spiritually. There were times during the 11 years where we questioned whether we were able to afford to continue paying private school tuition. We made the choice to put tuition payments first because we couldn't see finding the nurturing, challenging, energetic atmosphere anywhere else. This commitment was validated this fall as our daughter started high school in a public school. The foundation set at St. Peter has given her an edge both academically and socially. We have watched her blossom as she applies her strong work ethic and Christian foundation to her studies in honors and AP courses as well as social relationships.

I have three students at St. Peter, a 5th grader, 2nd grader and 1st grader. We have been attending the school since 2013 and we all love the school. We recently moved out of Schaumburg and yet we still attend the school. The school has a very friendly vibe and it is a great community to be a part of. The Principal and Assistant Principal are very visible at the school and greet parents and students alike, either in the parking lot or at the school entrance every day. The class sizes are small and the fantastic teachers all care and believe in their students. The teachers effectively communicate with parents in their weekly newsletter. The students are challenged and academically St. Peter’s MAP results are higher than the National average. At the 2017 Science Olympics St. Peter students took home 12 out of a possible 24 prizes. I really like the Accelerated Reading Program run by the Librarian which encourages and rewards children for reading throughout the year. There are many sporting opportunities such as track and field, basketball and volley ball and extracurricular activities like chess, computer and geography clubs, choir and band. The PTL is very active and provides many fellowship opportunities throughout the year to meet fellow parents like the Daddy Daughter Dance, Mother Son event, Christmas Carnival and the Early Childhood Potluck to name a few. Some of my best friends are parents I have met in my children’s classes.I would highly recommend this school.

Both of my children attend St. Peter. They are receiving an excellent education. Our teachers truly care about each student and are willing to come in early or stay late to help students.

I am a parent of a 3rd grader at St Peter Lutheran. My son has been attending the school since Kindergarten and loves every minute of it. Small class sizes provide a lot of focused attention of well educated teachers and support staff. Teachers themselves are very demanding and push their students to excel. This is reflected by MAP tests where St Peter students rank above district and national averages. On top of regular classes, the school offers a lot of extracurricular activities, chess or math club for example. I recommend St Peter Lutheran School without any hesitation to everyone.

"How well does the school prepare students for high school?" is a common question for parents. Before our son graduated in 2016 (he was a St. Peter student K - 8th) we had the same question. He was leaving a Christian-based school with small class sizes to a large (3,000 students plus), highly-rated public high school. Now in is sophomore year, we can say without hesitation that St. Peter prepares its students exceptionally well for high school, and it's clear that the foundation he received at St. Peter continues to positively influence him. Our son has a mix of As/Bs, including one honors class. His teachers tell us he is engaged in class discussions and in two classes, took it upon himself to routinely help special needs classmates. He joined the school's Christian club and has expressed an interest in a club leadership position next year. St. Peter's teachers and faith leaders prepared our son well for high school, academically and spiritually!Thanks to you and all of Andrew's St. Peter teachers/faith leaders for preparing him so well, academically and spiritually!

I had an amazing experience when I attended St. Peter and I'm thankful my children are having a similar experience. The teachers and faculty strive to ensure every student succeeds. They are available before and after school for extra help. They love their students and their families. They want to make sure their students are not only taken care of academically but also spiritually. The curriculum covers all subject areas which has helped developed well rounded students. There are many after school activities and sports for students to be part of. I highly recommend St. Peter as a school and church.

My daughter started at St. Peter for 4 year old full day preschool, and is now about to finish 7th grade. From the very beginning, I found it to be an enriching environment for her to learn. The teachers are clearly invested in providing a Christian and academically challenging education to their students. She has absolutely thrived at this school. Now that we are in the middle school years, I am incredibly impressed with their middle school curriculum. I truly believe that the study habits that they are being taught will help them in high school and beyond. The middle school science program is amazing! As a testament to that, 12 of the 14 7th & 8th graders that made it to the regional science fair advanced to state. Even though it’s a relatively small school, there are many extracurricular activities, both academic and athletic, that the children can participate in. There are also many events throughout the year where families can get to know each other. All of these things lead to a real feeling of community at this school. I have no regrets about investing in her education at St. Peter.

The school is full of caring teachers and administrators and involved parents. The curriculum is strong and there is an overall strength of character present.
