St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School identifies message, community, service, and worship as the educational foundation upon which a partnership of home and school is built. Recognizing parents as primary educators, and teachers as facilitators for learning, our students develop within an educational program rooted in Catholic faith that imparts knowledge, values, and life skills according to the individual needs and abilities of each child. Education is a process that transcends the immediate future and with this shared vision, we strive to instill in our students a life-long commitment and societal responsibility to the Christian ideals of peace, justice, equality, and respect for all life.
Mission StatementSt. Francis of Assisi Catholic School is called to provide a nurturing environment where students can grow spiritually, intellectually, socially, psychologically and physically. Through a dedicated partnership of parish, parents, and educators, we strive to prepare our students to become productive, global citizens of the twenty-first century. Placed within the foundation of our philosophy, we share the vision and common goal of Excellence in Catholic Education.
