School Notes
- Founded in 1952 as a parish school of St. Francis Episcopal Church, St. Francis Episcopal School is an independent, college-preparatory school serving boys and girls from 2 years old through high school. During their time here, students discover and cultivate their particular talents and interests, developing the confidence, self-awareness, and enthusiasm to succeed in all their endeavors. As a community, we strive to grow intellectually and personally so that we may better serve the wider world. Because we believe our education is not for us alone, we design every lesson, project, and experience to help us all grow as people for others: thinkers, makers, and citizens who live our learning and our faith.
