All students at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School are provided with an exceptional education, challenged to achieve their personal best, use their God-given talents and become life-long learners. Our curriculum and programs of study are in place to give all students an opportunity to use their God-given talents and to stimulate a logical progression of intellectual development though analysis, reasoning, reflection and problem solving appropriate to each discipline of study.
Combined with our tradition of providing excellence in education to all, St. Francis Xavier students receive an authentic education that nurtures their spirit and heart. By participating in daily student-led school-wide prayer, daily religion classes, and weekly Masses, our students learn to cherish their faith.
