Jesuit Education

Founded in 1872 as a Jesuit, Catholic college, Saint Peter’s has a long and venerable commitment to academic excellence, to spiritual and moral values, and to the individual personal development of its students.

The 450-year-old tradition of Jesuit education is manifested through the College’s strong core curriculum, through cura personalis (personal care) for its students and each other, and the nurturing in young men and women of high intellect and spiritual freedom, the tools for a lifetime of discernment and service to their world as “men and women with and for others.”

The College’s Mission Statement tries to capture in a succinct, dynamic sentence the elements of Jesuit-inspired education at Saint Peter’s College.
