Though no longer affiliated with the Episcopal Church, the St. Francis School community values its historical beginnings with that Christian denomination, and honors its spiritual heritage. At St. Francis, we strive to maintain a climate where all faith traditions are celebrated, and where all feel free to express their most deeply held beliefs. We also believe that the historical personage, St. Francis of Assisi, provides a wonderfully appropriate model for the school’s mission. As the patron saint of the environment, an advocate of respect for all living creatures, and an early champion of the equality of women, St. Francis continues to serve this community as a powerful example of enlightened engagement with the world.
