Competitive Examination Preparation

Strengthening concepts, problem-solving and disciplined preparation.

Competitive-examination preparation is most effective when it builds upon strong school learning rather than replacing it. St. Peter's currently presents a staged programme intended to develop scientific and mathematical thinking from the middle years and provide focused preparation for eligible senior students.
