parking for over 350 cars. The campus also includes
a library/media center, and an auditorium and

Philosophy
St. Francis School's educational philosophy is
based on the premise that every child can succeed
if attention is given to his or her learning strengths,
as well as, his or her learning weaknesses. Children
learn best in an environment that is supportive
yet challenging and where reachable expectations
have replaced ongoing frustration.
St. Francis allows
each child to realize his or her full learning
potential by providing a balanced, well-rounded
program that pays careful attention to basic skill
development, while at the same time encouraging
growth through physical activity, fine arts appreciation,
scientific experimentation, and historical discovery. |
