History
Grace and St. Peter's Episcopal Church was established in 1802. Shortly thereafter (1806), Saint Peter's, the first "free school" for boys in Baltimore City, was opened. A separate girls' school was added in 1845. In 1852, the building that currently houses Grace and St. Peter's church was erected at the intersection of Park Avenue and Monument Street, just one block west of Mount Vernon Square.
The separate boys' and girls' schools continued until 1919. In 1946, Grace and St. Peter's established the present school, which celebrated 50 years in its Mt. Vernon location in 1996.
Independent and affiliated with Grace and St. Peter's Church, Grace and St. Peter's School, a coeducational day school, enrolls children from preschool through fifth grade. Since its founding in 1946, the school has provided a solid educational foundation to the most diverse school community in the area. Grace and St. Peter's was and is committed to the social and moral development of its students, embracing its diversity as both essential and natural. Consistent with its mission to serve the children of working parents, before and after school care and lunch have been and continue to be provided for in the cost of tuition.
