Admissions Portal
To begin the enrollment process, please make sure you are a registered parishioner at St. Peter. If you are not, you need to go to the parish office in person to register. You may also complete this parish registration form then email it to [email protected], mail or drop off at 243 W Argonne Dr, St. Louis, MO, 63122, or drop in the collection basket in an envelope marked "Registration." If you are registered in another parish and live in their boundaries, you must get a release from your current parish’s pastor if you want to register at St. Peter. If you want to stay at your current Catholic parish or are not Catholic you do not have to register, but will need approvals from both your current pastor and Fr. O'Toole, the pastor at St. Peter.
Complete and submit an online inquiry form. Click here to access our admissions portal.
Once you have created your account in our admissions portal, schedule a tour. Tours are scheduled most Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 10:00am. Lasting about 30 minutes, tours are led by eighth grade students along with someone from our admissions team.

Transfer Students for Grades 1 - 8
Please call the admissions office at 314-822-1347 x3008 to discuss your transfer student. At this time we have very limited availabilty.
For students applying to transfer into first through eighth grades, we will need to schedule a day for you child to come in and shadow one of our students. During the day, you child will also take a series of assessments. They will be evaluated on their reading and math proficiency, as well as giving us a writing sample from a prompt. We have found that this is the best way to ensure that St. Peter is a good fit for your child and that they will be successful and happy here.
We will also need to obtain a copy of your child's academic records from their current school and their current teacher will need to complete a questionnaire.
We will email the results of the admissions process . Details about how next steps will be provided at that time.
