You may have known us as St. Peter's School, or you may have known us as
Worcester Central Catholic Elementary School. Today, 82 years after
this institution was originally conceived as a learning program for area
youngsters, we are called St. Peter's Central Catholic Elementary
School.
Our history is rich with tradition and achievement. Our
school and its environment have long been a source of inspiration and
comfort. Generation after generation of families have relied on St.
Peter's to challenge, nurture and educate young people from our
community.
Our human capital has always been abundant and has
enabled St. Peter's to withstand change. An unmistakable excitement
permeates the hallways and classrooms, creating a trademark atmosphere
for our school, its students and faculty.
St. Peter's Central
Catholic Elementary School also proudly reflects the rich diversity and
culture of the community it serves. Sitting prominently along Main
Street, the school has been a stable influence in Worcester's Main South
community that has undergone considerable change in the past
quarter-century. Our school attracts students from more that 20 Central
Massachusetts cities and towns. Our enrollment features a near equal
balance between boys and girls. While we are a member of the Diocesan
school system, nearly 20 percent of our students are non-Catholic and
one-quarter of our students are African-American, Asian or Hispanic.
First
accredited in 1997 by the New England Association of Schools and
Colleges, St. Peter's has just been awarded another ten year
accreditation. Our curriculum is strong and responsive to the needs of
our children. Our before-and after-school programs, and extra-curricular
activities are offered in a safe, friendly and supportive atmosphere.
