Our Philosophy

We Are St. Petronille

It would be hard to find a more nurturing environment for your children than what you’ll find at St. Petronille.

A superior education is at the core of it all, but what really sets us apart is a true dedication to enriching each individual student’s experience by bringing out the best in their unique talents—and instilling in them a desire to be outstanding members of the community long after their time at St. Pets. As a result, our graduates go into the world with a passion for learning, giving back and making a difference.
