Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At St. Peter Lutheran School, students receive a Christ-centered education that combines academic excellence, strong character development, and personalized attention through small class sizes. This fall, our new departmentalized program for grades 5–8 will provide students with specialized instruction that better prepares them for high school while maintaining the supportive, family-centered environment that sets St. Peter apart. We proudly welcome families from throughout the community and work to remove financial barriers through the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program and additional tuition assistance opportunities. Fully accredited through National Lutheran School Accreditation and the State of Indiana, St. Peter is committed to helping every child reach their God-given potential.
