I believe that Peninsula Catholic is an awesome school. I came out of middle school with minimal enthusiasm for school, but due to the encouraging and helpful teachers, I ended up finding a lot of joy in school. The teachers here will literally stay an hour and a half after school to help you understand topics and become more confident in their subject. I wouldn’t have wanted to go to any other school and I contribute much of my work ethic and future success to Peninsula Catholic!
Peninsula Catholic is an amazing community that I can call family. The teachers are always willing to help the students no matter what and actually do care for the students that attend. They in a sense become a "parental figure" in an educational manner. You meet amazing people that will become life-long friends, there are great sports and clubs to partake in, and everyone is welcome. Because our school is smaller, teachers can have a more 1:1 relationship with the students really helping us succeed even more. Not only that but you are bound to make amazing friends. We have an array of classes ranging from regular, honors, college credit, advanced placement, and more. I definitely would love to see even more courses added in the future, but with what we have, it is satisfactory. I would also say our school is very into technology, so we are up to date with the technology-fed generation and the teachers, for the most part, can keep up as well. I definitely would recommend coming here.
Peninsula Catholic is a very small, tight-knit school. All students know each other and many of them grew up with one another. The teachers really care about each individual student and want them to succeed.
