Greetings from St. Francis of Assisi School!

Our students, families and alumni, with their distinct personalities, interests and goals, could easily give you hundreds of reasons why they chose St. Francis of Assisi School. But when we've asked our students, families and alumni, they mention three recurring themes about what sets St. Francis of Assisi apart from other schools: the people, the program and the place.

Certainly as you consider your educational options for your child, you will ask the "why" question. Why should I enroll my child at St. Francis? The answer is complex, but simple. St. Francis is about community, academic excellence and resouces that will enable your child to be prepared for a Catholic secondary education. Last year, twenty-nine out of thirty-one graduates went on to some of the very best private and Catholic high schools in the area. And many were accepted to their first-choice.

So why St. Francis of Assisi?

Application for Admission

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child. Academic quality, student experience and co-curricular activities are just some of the characteristics that you will use to determine which school to select. Of course, cost is also an important characteristic. While the primary responsibility of paying for one's education lies with the family, a limited amount of financial aid is made available each year for families who qualify. Families interested in applying for financial aid must meet with the Principal to discuss eligibility.
