Where are the places that lead teenagers to find the paths to their souls ? Where are the places where defeated teens find a passion for living and hope for their future ? What happens to the teens who drop out of school. There are many dropouts prevention programs today . But because of emotional turmoil, family circumstances and educational deficiencies many teens still drop out of school. What do you do with these teenagers? Where are those magical places for such teens? Is there is such a place? This magical world does exist. Every Art Studio is a magical place.

St. Peter's Home for Boys has  been operating a magical place for these high school dropouts since 1996. Through our Literacy Education and Arts Program, we have helped these boys to find their future. The program is designed to help dropouts successfully obtain their G.E.D. and prepare to be either self employed in the art world, or pursue advance training in the arts. The Literacy Education and Arts Program started as an experiment out of desperation and turned into a shining light of hope. It was established in 1996. It began as a stained glass art program combined with a GED program. Through the years the program has experimented with other craft arts and now has added performance arts to the program.
