St Francis of Assisi Catholic School

My son went to this school for one year and we loved it. The staff is amazing! He would still be going to this school if we did not have to move. If we ever moved back to the area, I would enroll him in a heart beat. Everyone is very loving, caring, and attentive. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a good private school. You will not regret it. You are emailed right away or given a phone call if you need to know something about your child. The staff respond to you and make you feel important.

Our kids have been at SFS for 7 years. I was not sure where we were headed for school but when I called for a tour and information, I was greeted by the most friendly, caring staff and knew immediately, I was in the right place. Parents are given opportunities to be on campus and volunteer and to be involved in their children’s daily life. Each teacher is always available to listen to concerns. I especially love the LSP (learning support program). This program is available for those students who need extra help. My child is able to take her time and wrap her mind around math with this program. The school has many after school programs and sports teams.
The school is giving my children the foundation in faith and education that I was looking for. I could not have found a better «family» then the one we have at St. Francis.

This is the first year my child is attending St. Francis. On the first day of school, my 5-​year old son got distraught and did not want to let go. His teacher gently coaxed him and hugged him and let him feel welcome in her class. By the time I picked him up, he was smiling and said he enjoyed his first day of school. I was impressed. The teachers and staff are very welcoming and caring. Every morning, my son is greeted on a first name basis by the teachers, staff and the kids at school. There is always open communication between the parents and the teachers/​staff and we are always informed of the activities at school as well as our son’s progress. The curriculum is perfect for my child who loves being challenged. What I am especially impressed with is the way the students are given responsibilities that I feel position them to be leaders and contributing members of the community. The older kids are paired with the younger ones and become their buddies/​mentors/​role models. It is not uncommon to see the students helping out during Mass at the Parish. I look forward to continuing my family’s partnership with St. Francis in our son’s Catholic education.

St. Francis has been really great for my family. I like the sense of community, it’s really great when all the faculty and office staff know my kids. I don’t have to worry that they will get lost in the shuffle. The administration is very open with all the families, and have brought in some really great programs for after school (Archery, Art, Gardening, STEM, Tennis). My kids really enjoy coming to school every day, they love their teachers!

This school has provided a great foundation for both my kids. The teachers are caring, compassionate, and treat the kids as their own. It always puts me at ease knowing my kids look forward to their day, everyday.

The school has a nurturing and loving environment that has encouraged my kids to advance academically and grow in character year after year. I appreciate the open communication between the principle, teachers and parents. My kids have also been able to participate in some of the after school programs including: archery, art, tennis and little STEM (science, technology and math).
St. Francis School has a family atmosphere for the kids as well as the parents. Our family has been at this school for 7 years and we love it!

One of my boys is a St Francis alum and the other is a current student. St Francis School provides an excellent education with many opportunities for extracurricular activities. The thing my family loves most about St Francis is the community. We know the teachers, the administrators and the other school families… and they know us as well. This community is welcoming and loving; St Francis is a Catholic school and is very Christ-​centered, but is also home to those who come from different faith traditions. I am thankful that we chose St Francis School for our kids and for our family!
