Dear Families,

    Welcome to St. Francis Academy, a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.  We are delighted to have you join our vibrant community where we nurture strong academic excellence alongside a deep commitment to our Franciscan charism and our Catholic faith.

    St. Francis Academy was founded in 1959 by our dear Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception.  We strive to cultivate an environment that fosters not only intellectual growth but also spiritual development.  Our Blue Ribbon designation reflects our dedication to high standards in education, and our mission to educate the whole child.  Spiritually, academically, artistically, and socially we strive to form young people in the image of Christ.

    Our experienced faculty is passionate about creating a challenging and supportive atmosphere while integrating Franciscan values into our curriculum.  We believe that education is not simply about acquiring knowledge but also about forming compassionate, ethical individuals who will contribute positively to the world.

    We encourage families to be actively involved in our community, we believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success.  We will offer numerous opportunities for you to engage with us, from classroom activities to family events.

    Thank you for choosing St. Francis Academy.  Together we will nurture a love of learning and Franciscan values that will serve our children throughout their lives.

Pax et Bonum,
