Laying the Foundation<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
It's our responsibility as parents to help them build their foundation on the rock - Jesus' word and love. So when they grow and the rains come, they will be strong and courageous in the Lord. At SFX, we focus on teaching not only strong academics, but social and emotional health and strong relationships with the Lord.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1581718896077{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”nomarg”]We work hard and play hard at St. Francis Xavier – both are important for children’s development. Our curriculum is both comprehensive and challenging including areas of math, social studies, language arts, and science. Our small class sizes afford individual attention from teachers and specialists. We know that students learn and excel at different paces, and our teachers are prepared to meet your student where they’re at and lead them to academic success.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe personal education your child deserves.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
Developing young minds takes love and attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n
One of the ways we’re different than public schools is the time, attention, and love we can offer each child at St. Francis Xavier. Each of our grades have only two sections, and our teaching staff are able to collaborate on transitions from grade to grade, to ensure each student’s success.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a DEDICATED staff, who go above and beyond to provide a happy, safe,\u00a0 and successful learning environment. Students are not a ‘number” at St. Francis Xavier. They are unique individuals, and our staff can address almost any child by name, regardless of their grade.\u201d <\/em>
