Values...Morals... Technology (Smart Boards in EVERY classroom)...Dedicated faculty...I feel that my children are getting an education that is worthy of my hard earned money. I also am impressed with the schools that these kids are heading to after St Francis, Thayer, St. Sebs, BC High etc...
Money well spent....As an administrator at the secondary level, I know what I want for my children. SFA provides the perfect environment for inquisitive, eager to learn children. They learn in a safe, nurturing environment. With only 2 years to go before HS, my children are well prepared in a cross section of disciplines (most importantly, the humanities, English and modern languages). At the elementary level, I want my kids learning how to study, why things happen, and to ask questions. The school has a great record of success at preparing her graduates for the future. I'm glad to recommend SFA.
My 4 year old just finished her first year at St Francis of Assisi. I was worried about her because she was really apprehensive about going to school where she knew no one, and having started two months after the other students. It took her exactly one day to be completely comfortable there. From the Teachers assistants, to the principal, to the teacher. Everyone was wonderful and understanding of her needs. I have never worried for her safety or well-being. She has truly blossomed in a few short months. She learned many things she had not previously known while in attendance at daycare. She started writing her name,learned about weather, and hibernation, speaking Spanish and started using computers! I am very impressed with St Francis of Assisi so far. My daughter keeps saying she misses school. I feel like it is worth the money. Her teacher Ms. Brennan was especially great.
My 3 children have been in this school since preschool. We have now been with the school for 6 years. I can't say enough about it, it is truly wonderful. The school is like a family, the teachers are very involved and easy to communicate with. The principle has an open door policy and is a great leader. She has worked very hard to give the children the state of the art technology, as well as languages, and the proper academic tools they need to succeed. The public schools are losing teachers every year due to pay cuts. Their classrooms are getting very large. Their books and suppiles are showing their age and they are not getting support from town $$$ wise. SFA is constantly updating the academic programs, the building, the supplies. I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful teaching evironment for my children.
