Admissions

Thank you for your interest in St. Francis School. Choosing your child's school is a big decision and this is an important first step in ensuring your child a bright future filled with faith and knowledge.

At St. Francis School children acquire a solid foundation in our Catholic faith, as well as the basic academics, while experiencing an atmosphere that reflects Christian values. Since 1948, we have offered a balance of faith and education, doing more than preparing students for tests in the classroom; we prepare them for tests in life. 

In addition to a complete academic curriculum and faith-based learning, our program features:
  • Experienced and accredited teachers
  • Small class sizes
  • Advanced classroom technology
  • Arts/Music
  • Safe and secure building
  • Bus service within the Ellsworth Community School District
  • Tuition-free 4YK program (see below for more information)

We Love our School! 

"St. Francis School has been a wonderful place for my children to grow their Christian values, education and confidence. This close community of students, teachers and parish members is great to be a part of. By being active in the Home and School Association, I've had the opportunity to help the school in its desire for continued improvement. The relationships that I've formed through this experience have been the icing on the cake." Anne Matzek
