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.
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 30-45 minutes, tours are led by eighth grade students along with someone from our admissions team.
Enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year will open in late January and will close on February 17, 2023. After this date, applications will be processed, with spots filled according to the priority listing below and a waiting list if necessary. Any registrations received after the deadline of February 17, 2023 will be admitted on a first come, first served basis if spots remain open.
You will need your child's birth certificate and baptismal record to register, and if they are entering first through 8th grade you will also need an Academic Records Release Form signed.
Please note students transferring into first through eighth grade may be admitted on a conditional basis until all assessments, academic records, and teacher surveys are completed.
For students registering 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, and 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 here.
We will also need to obtain a copy of your child's academic records from their current school.
We will email the results of the admissions process . Details about how next steps will be provided at that time.
