The Houses of St. Peter
-
-
When thinking of a school or similar institution, the term “house” refers to a subdivision of members within the school. Each house is composed of people with common traits – most often, ages or experience levels. The houses share a goal of unity not only within their own groups, but even more importantly as part of the larger unit, and in our case, St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Classical School.

The Little Apostles are growing in their love for God through play and exploring the natural beauty around them. This house spends time together building relationships fostering a sense of community. Teachers look toward Jesus as they cultivate kindness in their classroom. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).

House of the Peacemakers2nd through 5th
-
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:9) The Greek word implies that a person makes or works towards peace. We can only work toward peace if he/she is at peace within themselves. We want to instill to our group that believers have peace with God through Jesus Christ. In other words, we are happy to create or attribute to harmony for and towards Christ.

House of Amity6th through 8th
-
Amity is a Latin term for friendship. In junior high, we watch friendships grow through endeavors of different sports and clubs. Students are assigned to help and encourage each other, whether through academics, play, or fine arts. Students learned many Latin prayers and songs this year, and some learned to read music and play the bells. Students also are encouraged to grow spiritually, through prayer and adoration. Students will share their prayer requests and will then spend time in reflection, praying for one another.
