St. Peter Catholic Academy serves three parishes in the Bensonhurst/Bath Beach section of Brooklyn – St. Finbar, St. Frances Cabrini and St. Mary Mother of Jesus. St. Peter, the “rock” upon whom Christ built his church, stands as a figure of authority and faith.

St. Peter Catholic Academy encourages its students to succeed to their highest cognitive level in order to meet the challenges of life in the 21st century. As the only Catholic elementary school in the area, it strives to help its students grow academically, socially, emotionally, and most important of all, spiritually.
 

The academy recognizes that parents and teachers share the responsibility of education, and strives to create a supportive environment with open lines of communication among school administrators, faculty, parents, and students. The academy is governed by a board of directors that overseas the principal and the operations of the academy and guide the future strategic direction. A board of members consists of the pastors of the three aligned parishes that are served by the academy along with diocesan officials.
