St. Pedro Calungsod was educated at a Jesuit boarding school as a Catechist and in the Spanish language in order to be a Catechist, it was his own decision. Here is the relevant paragraph from Wikipedia:

Training and arrival on Guam

It is probable that he received basic education at a Jesuit boarding school, mastering the Catechism and learning to communicate in Spanish. He also likely honed his skills in drawing, painting, singing, acting, and carpentry, as these were necessary in missionary work.

In 1668, Calungsod, then around 14, was amongst the exemplary young catechists chosen to accompany Spanish Jesuit missionaries to the Islas de los Ladrones ("Isles of Thieves"), which have since been renamed theMariana Islands the year before to honour both the Virgin Mary and the mission's benefactress, María Ana of Austria, Queen Regent of Spain. Calungsod accompanied the priest Diego San Vitores to Guam to catechise the native Chamorros. Missionary life on the island was difficult as provisions did not arrive regularly, the jungles and terrain was difficult to traverse, and the Marianas were frequently devastated by typhoons. The mission nevertheless persevered, and a significant number of locals were baptised into the faith.

What did become San Pedro do to become a saint?

San Pedro, known in English as Saint Peter, was one of the twelve apostles and appointed by Our Lord to be the first leader (pope) of his church. Peter did many good things during his life but his sainthood was assured when he suffered martyrdom for his faith. He was crucified upside down as he did not feel he deserved to die in the same manner as Our Lord. There are a number of other saints named Peter or Pedro. If you had someone besides Peter the Apostle in mind, feel free to ask another question but be specific about the name.
