Saint Francis Xavier School offers a quality Catholic education in a family-like environment.
Love for God and neighbor is fostered and the religious and moral formation, begun at Baptism, is encouraged through the development of the whole child.
Academic excellence and curiosity for knowledge flow from this commitment.
In the spirit of unity we call one another to be loving witnesses of Christ, relevant in the Church and world today.
Faculty and parents commit themselves and guide the students to live out Catholic Christian values.
We affirm the goals set forth by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in their pastoral message, "To teach as Jesus did." The mission of Saint Francis Xavier School is to provide a quality Catholic education according to the Good News of Jesus Christ through academic excellence, a faith community of love, and service to others.
