The mission of St. Francis de Sales School is to educate each student in a spirit of faith and academic excellence according to Roman Catholic principles. As part of a caring, disciplined community, our school, in partnership with parents, nurtures and challenges each student to develop to his or her fullest potential. We, at St. Francis de Sales School, acknowledge that parents are the first and foremost educators of their children, and are charged with the challenging task of creating a family atmosphere animated with love and reverence for God and men. We recognize, too, that the family is the first school of those social virtues which every society needs (Christian Education Vatican II). We are privileged to assist parents in the task of educating their children.
