Because children’s educational needs grow and change throughout
their elementary and middle school years, St. Francis’
award-winning faculty members carefully craft each child’s
classroom and curricular experience to meet individual learning
needs and styles. Students are equipped to embrace an uncertain
future through curriculum and programs that emphasize problem
solving, logic and critical thinking. They also learn how to be
“people for others,” incorporating passion for service and
compassion for others into every aspect of their lives.
St. Francis graduates are highly sought-after by area private
and magnet high schools due to their solid academic preparation,
extensive leadership training, and reputation for character and
moral excellence. In fact, 98 percent of our graduates are accepted
into their college-preparatory high school of choice.
