St. Peter School
is excited to announce the opening of our new kindergarten program for the 2026-2027 school year, offering families in Flower Mound and surrounding areas a Christ-centered educational option where faith and academic excellence go hand in hand. Our school is expanding to meet the growing demand for quality Christian education in our community.
Our New Facility and Vision
We are currently constructing a new 22,000 square foot education facility that will open for the 2026-2027 school year. This purpose-built space will house both our well-established preschool program and our new elementary school, beginning with kindergarten and adding one grade each year through 5th grade.
Our vision extends beyond simply adding grade levels. We are creating an educational environment where children can:
- Develop strong academic foundations
- Build character through Christian values
- Grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ
- Learn to serve others with compassion and purpose
- Discover and develop their unique God-given talents
The St. Peter Difference: Our Core Values
At St. Peter School, everything we do is guided by our commitment to developing scholars, servants, and saints to the glory of God. These three core values form the foundation of our educational approach:
Scholars
We provide programs grounded in excellence to develop the academic, artistic, and athletic talents of all learners.
- We believe that a passion for learning extends beyond the classroom
- We believe that life-long learners find solutions to present and future challenges
- We believe that knowledge is a result of critical and creative thinking about life experiences and core subject topics
- We believe that knowledge is constructed through student-centered, problem-based learning approaches
- We believe that students need academic and physical fitness for healthy, successful living
Servants
We provide opportunities for service to others in Christ's name within and beyond the school community.
- We believe that service enriches the spiritual life of those who serve and of those being served
- We believe that serving alongside others deepens relationships and fosters unity within the student body
- We believe that serving others is the heart of leadership and builds strong character in the life of the individual
- We believe that good works are necessary as the "fruit of faith" in the life of a Christian
Saints
We foster a Christ-centered culture that shapes spiritual formation in the lives of our students.
- We believe that in Christ alone there is salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, based on Scripture alone
- We believe Scripture stands as the final standard of the Gospel
- We believe all Christians are members of the church and the royal priesthood of all believers
- We integrate faith and learning in all aspects of school life
Our Kindergarten Program
Our kindergarten curriculum is designed to provide children with a strong foundation for future academic success while nurturing their spiritual growth and character development.
Academic Excellence
Our comprehensive curriculum follows Texas Education Agency standards while integrating Christian principles throughout. Key components include:
- Language Arts and Literacy
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
- Religion
Balanced Approach to Learning
Our kindergarten day includes a balanced blend of:
- Teacher-directed instruction
- Student-centered exploration
- Independent learning
- Collaborative activities
- Indoor and outdoor play
- Rest and reflection time
This balanced approach ensures that children remain engaged and enthusiastic about learning while developing the skills and knowledge they need for future success.
Faith Integration: What Makes Us Unique
Unlike public school options, our kindergarten program fully integrates faith into every aspect of the educational experience. This integration happens in several key ways:
Daily Religious Instruction
Children participate in daily religion lessons where they learn Bible stories, memorize scripture verses, sing Christian songs, and discuss how to apply biblical principles in their lives.
Prayer Throughout the Day
Prayer is a natural part of our school day, with opportunities for prayer at the beginning of the day, before meals, and during specific times of reflection or need.
Christian Worldview in All Subjects
Faith is not confined to religion class but is woven throughout all subject areas. For example:
- In science, children learn about God as the Creator and sustainer of the world
- In social studies, they explore how to be responsible citizens who serve others as Jesus taught
- In language arts, they encounter stories that reinforce Christian values
- In mathematics, they discover the order and patterns God created in the world
Character Development
Christian virtues such as kindness, honesty, responsibility, and respect are intentionally taught and reinforced throughout the day in classroom interactions and playground experiences.
Service Opportunities
Even our youngest students learn to serve others through age-appropriate service projects and activities that help them develop a heart for helping those in need.
