"Our family has been a part of St. Peter's day school for several years now. I am confident in saying that the faculty and staff at this school, are some of the most loving, intelligent, nurturing, creative and understanding people that we have come across. The small class sizes allow our children to receive the guidance and attention they need. St. Peter's students learn through experience, are taught to think outside the box, and to value different cultures and religions. Our children are given the opportunity to learn a foreign language, experiment with technology, to play a musical instrument. to create beautiful art projects, to participate in community outreach, to respect the thoughts and feelings of others and to learn manners, kindness, and responsibility. As a family, we are welcome to participate in many wonderful activities at St. Peter's School. It is wonderful to be allowed to help out with activities and see your child interact with their teacher and friends. Our children have grown academically and socially since they started to attend this beautiful school. We love this school and the vision our principal has for it's future."

"My child attends St.Peters by the sea day school. I am writing this with only good intentions. I have to agree with the older posts, its very hard to say this but the school has changed for the worse. This use to be a wonderful place but as the years went on something toxic happened. The teachers,principal and families are wonderful. They are professional and warm and give 110% to the children. The person who is at the very top making poor decisions and rules is the one who destroying this school. The tuition is extremly high and is no longer worth it because of all the programs that were cut. I feel the tuition is being misused and not properly allocated. The person at the top who is making these decision ,I feel no longer has the childrens best interest at heart."

"My children have been in St. Peter's since nursery school. It offers an academically accelerated program that is based on the individual student. Each year students take the Iowa tests and are individually tracked from grade to grade. My children have tested annually way above the national standards. Programs like French starting in nursery school set the school apart. It offers diversity in the student body and the teachers and families are incredibly dedicated to the school. The school has experienced a lot of changes in the last couple of years but the education continues to be superior to other schools on the South Shore of Long Island."

"Our children have attended St. Peter's for 5 years and will continue through 8th grade. As working parents, words cannot adequately express the joy we feel in our hearts when our children get on that bus in the morning. Our kids wake up happy and ready to roll. They cannot wait to get to school. They are doing so well in their studies and just love their teachers and friends. Our children are also involved in supporting many community outreach programs - a joint effort between parish and school. What a relief to know our little ones are spending their days in such a safe, caring and loving environment. Another bonus - great parents who have become our dear friends - like family. Frank Fallon - our Headmaster is amazing. He is kind, caring and introducing so many innovative and ground breaking educational programs. As for the Parent's Association - simply amazing. so many supportive individuals who care so deeply for St. Peter's. We're in for the long haul. xo"

"My child has been in St. Peter's By the Sea since kindergarten. There has been a lot of change in the school led by Mr. Fallon. Initially, the plan for educational improvements seemed scary to many parents. However, the school has improved so much and some of the new teachers are just fabulous. This is a place where children are safe. The hallways and activities are well organized. The approach to religion is age appropriate and fun for the kids. Mr. Fallon has done a terrific job of turning this school around. My child has been committed to her school work more than ever and the new fresh ideas that her teacher has brought to the classroom have been implemented at home, which is so important. While I respect all points of view of previous reviews, I do believe that there is a night and day difference in the school curriculum, after school activities and their accepting and welcoming approach to diversity. We are glad we stayed committed to the school. They most certainly are committed to the children. It's an expensive school, but it is money well spent when you have relief as you are heading off to work knowing you left your child in the right place. Don't miss it!"
