We feel very fortunate to have our 3 children attend SFdS. Our school''s administration supports parental input and involvement. They work tirelessly to provide for a positive, safe, faith-based culture. Our teaching staff goes above and beyond each day to seek out exceptional educational achievement. They strive to develop our children not only as students, but human beings that will leave a positive mark on the world. We love this community!

St. Francis has been a huge success for my child. He always struggled with daycare drop-off and as soon as he started preschool at St. Francis he loves coming to school. He has learned so much over the course of the year and grown so much socially. The teachers are so caring. Also, because of the small school, staff members from many grades know and interact with my child. The principal is very involved and greets students when they come inside in the morning. My child loves going to school and I am so happy that we found this school community.
