- Pastor's Welcome
  
  Welcome to Saints Peter and Paul!
- Greetings from the Principal
  
  Dear Prospective Saints Peter and Paul Parent,
  
  Hello, I am excited you are interested in our tremendous school! Saints Peter and Paul provides a challenging, yet nurturing, Catholic environment where students come to know Jesus Christ and His love for them, while being guided by our outstanding faculty and staff. We begin each day with school-wide prayer/reflection time, attend weekly Mass and Adoration, and actively live our faith through Biblical principals, service to others, and a steadfast prayer life. It is hard to put into words the incredible experience families notice when they walk our halls or visit our classrooms. That special “feeling” is the presence of the Holy Spirit. At SSPP we want to share this joy, and the JOY Jesus offers, with everyone!
  
  Saints Peter and Paul embodies a vibrant and supportive parish that contributes to the overall good of the school and each school family. The parish subsidy, family participation in fundraising, genrous donations, and the school endowments all help keep our tuition affordable and provide financial aid for qualifying families. We have many opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s education and school experiences, whether it is on the field as a coach, volunteering in a classroom, mystery reader, hot lunch help, or working with our Home & School Association. We value and encourage our parents to be active participants in our community. We are here to support your entire family and love it when family members get involved!
  
  There are so many wonderful things happening at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School. Please take a tour, personal with me, so we can share in greater detail all SSPP has to offer. We can also connect you with a current school family who would be happy to share their experiences at Saints Peter and Paul. The step to join SSPP is one that will continue to bear much fruit now, and foster a bright future for your child!
  
  We look forward to taking the next steps to enroll your child at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School, as we partner in your child's success. It is extremely important to our entire staff that your child’s educational experience is positive, where they learn in a supportive, faithfilled, caring environment. We look forward to helping your entire family make a smooth transition.
  
  Peace and prayers,
  
  Mrs. Tricia Weis
  Principal

- Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School has been partnering with parents in Naperville to provide a Catholic education for students in Preschool through 8th grade since 1853. Our new Early childhood programming began in the Fall of 2021 in our large, brand new state-of--the-art classrooms. The Saints Peter and Paul faith community is proud to offer a program wherein the entire family will be welcomed to learn and grow with us! A few of the reasons why other families have chosen SSPP include:
