catch the lutheran spirit

Welcome to our St. Peter’s Lutheran School website. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and School is one of the oldest Lutheran parishes in Fort Wayne. We were founded in 1855. We are located in growing St. Joe Township where we occupy 41 acres of land on Fort Wayne’s northeast side. Teachers and administrators bring the Word of Christ to more than 200 students on a daily basis.

St. Peter’s is accredited by the National Lutheran Schools Association and the state of Indiana. Academics at St. Peter’s challenge students to achieve their personal best. Mathematics, science, social studies, language arts, and religion are taught at every grade level. St. Peter’s standardized test scores (for grades 3-8) consistently outrank those of the surrounding community schools.

A quality Christ centered educational program is maintained at St. Peter’s in many extracurricular activities as well, including choral music, handbells, and instrumental music, as well as a complete interscholastic sports program for students in grades four through eight.

If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
