SS. Peter and Paul School focuses primarily on the process of developing the potential that lies within each of our students.
This process is nurtured in an atmosphere of kindness, love and understanding of each child entrusted to our care.
Our students are encouraged to view themselves as unique, valuable and capable individuals worthy of respect.
Within the framework of love of God, self and acceptance of others, our students are given ample opportunity to experience spiritual growth and a deeper understanding of and respect for their Catholic Faith and Christian Principles, with an existing balance between religious teaching and experience.
We implement an instructional program designed to meet or exceed New York State Department of Education and the Diocese of Buffalo mandates, emphasizing enrichment activities that provide communication skills, creativity, and independence.
To treat each child as an individual is our conscious concern and practice.
