As a educational family of faith, we are committed to Gospel values and a strong curriculum.

St. Francis strives to impart to all students an inner self-discipline and a sense of social responsibility which extends beyond self and to family, church and community.
We believe that education at St. Francis is guided by our belief in a loving God who calls each child to become the best he/she can be.
It develops the whole child spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and emotionally.
