ACCREDITATION
St. Peter Cathedral School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Our educational programs are based on State Standards and Diocesan Guidelines that identify the skills for each grade level. The scope and sequence of texts dovetail with these requirements. A variety of approaches that are both structured and flexible challenge students as they progress through each grade level.
