At St. Peter the Apostle, we offer a seamless four-year program, providing better integration into high school courses and academic streams within the semester system. Students are treated as high schoolers, fostering personal responsibility and providing equal privileges, access to events, and special days. The school features an open campus, integrated lunch periods, with Provincial Achievement Exams held in January and June, accompanied by exam breaks. Transitioning into high school is made easier with career counseling provided over all four years and continuity in program, course, and teacher expectations.
