Very bad experience with this school and I would not recommend it. I requested a tour in September for the following year for my children. I never heard back from the tour request, so I called the school 2x to follow up, but again, no response or call back. When I finally got through (dec), I was told there is a HUGE waitlist and was told I could have a tour in 1.5 months from now (jan 15). The lady acted as if I was lying about submitting the tour request and calling, so I sent her proof via email and she still claims she did not get this, acting as if I was not telling the truth. This does not seem like an inclusive, Catholic school based on my experience and I would not recommend it.

10/10. My children are out of the school and their time at SSPP prepared them for the future both academically, socially, athletically, and morally.

Saints Peter and Paul School in West Chester, PA, provides an environment of academic excellence, strong school leadership and an involved, caring community. It is a gem of a school and one of the best Parochial schools in Chester County. The school prepares students for high school and beyond beginning in PreK3 through 8th Grade.

My children are getting a phenomenal education at Saints Peter and Paul. The administration is incredibly approachable to parents and students alike. They encourage involvement at all levels, and incorporate feedback and ideas whenever possible. The teachers are top-notch, with progressive lesson plans and teaching methods.

For the lower school, the children get a education, however middle school needs alot of work.1.. Hire a language teacher and lose Rosetta stone. It just does not work and the children are graded on the amount of time the dedicate, not learning anything.2. Computer Class - This should not be the students doing Rosetta stone, you should be teaching something more meaningful.3. Need more tiered levels of classes, all of the children are grouped together..4. Need some extra curricular activities for those who are not in athletics. 5. Bullying seems to run ram-pit and not being handled properly - resources not being used, procedures not explained.6. Class trips not organized well.7. Prep for high school is not that strong.8. Lost some very good teachers and not replaced with teachers who are as strong.9. Little or no communication when there is a classroom issue.

SSPP is a wonderful school community. Family involvement is such an important piece to our children's success and our school truly makes it fun to be a part of the school. The academic program is excellent, our neighbors with children at other schools are always surprised with what our students are doing. In class, projects, and homework. I would highly recommend the school to others!!!

Saints Peter and Paul School is the epitome of a warm and nurturing environment. Hearts to love and hands to serve is our mission and our teachers truly drive that home with our kids every day. We have the top standardized testing scores of any archdiocesan school in Chester County, PA. This is a testament to the vigorous leadership by our principal Mrs. Egan who strives for academic excellence in every subject. She consistently re-evaluates approaches to enhance curriculum to keep our students excelling and well prepared for high school. However, it's the warm atmosphere, strong manners, organized structure and caring initiatives of our school that encourage me to send our three children there. It's so much more than school; it's our community. We've made friends at Saints Peter and Paul School that we can count on in good times and bad and who will be family friends long past 8th grade graduation.

I have 2 children at the school. The principal knows every student by name and welcomes parental involvement at all levels. The teachers and principal have a open door policy and want what is best for each child academically,spiritually and socially. Academically, the school is great! They also have learning support should your child need it. Our art and music program is outstanding. The school has a band, choir and theatre. It has indoor and outdoor facilities for gym and sports. Each child in 3rd - 8th grade has their own net book supplied by the school. Children in preschool through 2nd share I-pads. Of course there is a computer lab and tv studio where each child regardless of their age participates. There are a variety of clubs such as lego, craft, chess, fitness....There are a variety of social events each year such as fall family fun day and spring outside movie. The school is a wonderful community and I would highly recommend it!
