They took good care of my family and the other two families that had parental deaths when I attended here. The teachers were great here I learned a lot. I was scoring in the high 90th percentile sin everything on every test I took after I left here. I owe them big time for that. They challenged me. I was in town the day the church burned...I saw it all smoky and crispy. Sad, sad, sad. I had my first communion here too. My mother, two classmate's parents and my great-grandmother's funerals were here. I was an alter girl too when I was a kid. I used to run around the church after school. This is the place that put the fear of G-d in me and keeps me agnostic rather then atheist as I go through that whole "I'm an adult - know what" thing. The spiritual education I got here kept me on a fairly straight path most of my life... The new church is AMAZING, huge and endless. They tore down the rectory and the convent and now have what I think is the largest and most beautiful community faith centers I have ever seen.

IEP accommodation and speech therapy didn't work well because they would pull students like me outside of class and this caused me to miss more school stuff.

During Communion at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, my daughter approached the priest, bowed…read moreand had one hand on top of the other to receive the Eucharist. Instead of offering guidance, he repeatedly told her to "do it properly," but never explained what he wanted her to change. He then began questioning her religion, asking whether she was Catholic or Christian. After she responded that she is Catholic, he said, "then do it properly" she was unsure what he wanted her to do differently, then he said again, "Are you sure you're Catholic?" Again she replied yes, I am Catholic. Shortly before this interaction, the priest had taken the Eucharist away from a young man who had said he was Christian. The priest began scolding him while the young man respectfully was nodding that he understood. The situation was uncomfortable to witness and felt unnecessarily harsh. It seemed like a missed opportunity for a compassionate conversation about the Catholic faith, especially since the young man was attending Mass and clearly showing interest. Although my daughter ultimately received Communion, the interaction was prolonged and uncomfortable. She was not given clear instruction only public questioning about her faith. My daughter approached respectfully and reverently. Being questioned in that way, in front of others, left her embarrassed and shaken. She was crying when we got home, which was especially heartbreaking because she was the one who had asked to go to Mass that day. Reverence for the Eucharist is important. However pastoral guidance should reflect clarity, dignity, and compassion. Interactions like this can leave a lasting impression on young people who are trying to grow in their faith. I hope this feedback encourages more compassionate and thoughtful handling of similar situations in the future.

If you are looking for a school where your child is not just a number, but a special individual then look no further. The teachers care about every student as if they were their own.

For the 2 year old students they even have a special outdoor play area with smaller slides and toys for that age group that both of my daughters have enjoyed! Their outdoor space and playground for the prek3 and older students is fantastic too (lots of swings and slides!) and I always felt my kids were getting such a great mix of education as well as fun outdoor time at school. Utilizing sensory bins, painting, motor room, etc. my kids have enjoyed so many fun and educational activities at this school. We have had excellent teachers for the past 4 years we have been here! Even with a child with food allergies I felt very supported by the staff including her in snacks/activities and checking in with me occasionally when needed to make sure she could be included. Even more recently St. Peter has allowed students to bring their own snacks in to accommodate the many food allergies children have nowadays. Ms. Cummins by far has been the best teacher we have ever had. She updates parents daily through the school's app (which not all teachers do!) and I always feel that I know what my child is doing at school by her fantastic communication. Anytime I have questions about something and email her she gets back to me immediately. My family has been so lucky to have her for 2 of our children. She is the most passionate, knowledgeable and caring teacher. Both of my children have learned SO much and grown by being in her class, I will forever be grateful! I would highly recommend this school to anyone in Arlington Heights and the northwest suburbs of Chicago area.

Both my boys had the same 2's teacher since that's how St. Peter does it. We have been so happy and blessed and honestly this teacher is as wonderful as they come. An absolute blessing. I was actually surprised to see another review as we had the exact opposite with that teacher. Mrs. Cummins is honestly a blessing and one of the most amazing teachers. She is the reason we never considered any other option for our second child. She has embraced all the difficulties he has had in this being his first exposure to school. She is openly communicative with all the parents and kids and I can speak for the other moms in the class as well we feel we hit the jackpot with her. When any issues arise she discusses them and works with us to find a solution that best fits our child, us and finally her. Our older son has Mrs. Grissom this year and he is thriving because of her. She treats the kids with kindness, love, and teaches them confidence. My older son was always more nervous in the school settings but she has really helped him blossom. Not only are the preschool teachers amazing but the staff is so incredibly kind and loving. They know your kids by name and ask how everyone is doing. Feeling this level of care has kept us at St. Peter. You can choose anywhere for your child to go but St. Peter has always been accommodating and caring.
