My family loves St. Francis. My three children count St. Francis as their second home and part of our extended family. The campus is safe, the teachers and faculty are all professional and give so much to the school. The parent volunteers are equally as giving of their time and their level of commitment is outstanding. Everyone works really hard to make St. Francis a great school for our kids. My oldest daughter, who is now a freshman, scored in the 90th percentile of 9th graders in the country. To me, this a testament to the school and all the skills she acquired as a student at St. Francis Solano. Also, as a parent, I have met some of my closest friends at St. Francis. Families who will be forever friends to me and my family.
St Francis provides my children with the best overall quality eduacation in a superior academic, spiritual and social environment. St. Francis has a proven track record of challenging its students in the classroom as well as providing them with opportunities outside the classroom and beyond the town of Sonoma in sports programs, science fairs, art/writing competitions, geography bees, spelling bees, Academic Decathlon, etc. Students who have graduated from St. Francis have gone on to the local high school as well as Marin Academy, Cardinal Newman/Ursuline High School, Justin Siena High School, and Sonoma Academy. These students have gone on to excel at colleges, including Stanford, West Point, and many of the UCs. St. Francis provides a nurturing environment to all its students and my children would not dream of going anywhere else!
I went to St. Francis and I strongly believe I received the best academic education available in Sonoma. I could not have been better prepared for high school and college. I remember loving each of my teachers, and I always felt loved and supported by them. Now I am married and have two little ones and can look at the school from a different viewpoint. Not only do children love going there, but the teachers are dedicated and have excellent educational backgrounds. While my husband is not Catholic, he also agrees that there is no question where our children will be attending school in the near future.
I have been a part of St. Francis Solano School for the last 29 years, and I love it! I entered St. Francis Solano School as a first grader,and I can honestly say that St. Francis gave me the educational foundation to be a very successful student both at Justin-Siena High School and at Dominican University. My prayers were answered when I was hired at St. Francis fresh out of college. As a teacher, I am blessed to work with such dedicated administration and colleagues. We have a strong and challenging academic program in an atmosphere rich in Roman Catholic values. All students have opportunities to take Music, Computer, Spanish, and PE on top of core curricula based on the California State Standards. My three children have learned moral values and strong study skills at St. Francis. This is the school for your child. --Michelle Momsen, alumnus, teacher, parent
