St. Petronille Catholic School
630-469-5041
St. Petronille Catholic School was established in 1926, one year after the founding of St. Petronille's parish. The school's core curriculum --religion, reading, language arts, math, science, social studies and foreign languages -- is enriched with courses in art, music, physical education and swimming. Technology is woven throughout the curriculum, and the school has a full-time computer teacher on staff as well as a Media Center equipped with 30 PCs. St. Petronille only admits the children of registered and active parishioners.
The school is part of the church's Education Commission, a cluster of ministries that also includes St. Petronille Religious Education, which offers catechetical instruction for children and spiritual education for adults. For more information, contact or visit the church's Education Center at 425 Prospect Avenue.
