Educating the Whole Child:
Mind, Body, and Spirit.
At St. Francis School, we take pride in fostering a strong foundation of faith in our students, rooted in Catholic teachings and values. Our faith curriculum is designed to provide a holistic and transformative educational experience, empowering young hearts and minds to grow in love, knowledge, and a deep relationship with God. Through our faith curriculum, we aspire to achieve the following goals:
Our primary goal is to nurture the spiritual growth of our students. We create a prayerful and reflective environment where children can encounter God's love and learn to communicate with Him through prayer. Regular prayer services, moments of silence, and religious retreats offer opportunities for profound spiritual experiences, helping our students develop a personal relationship with God.
We aim to impart a comprehensive understanding of Catholic teachings and traditions. Our faith curriculum covers essential aspects of the Catholic faith, including scripture study, sacraments, saints, and liturgical celebrations. Through these teachings, students gain a deeper appreciation for the richness of their faith and how it relates to their daily lives.
Character formation is at the core of our faith curriculum. We strive to cultivate virtues such as kindness, compassion, honesty, and respect in our students. By encouraging virtuous behavior, we guide our students to become compassionate and responsible individuals who positively impact their families, communities, and the world.
As followers of Christ, we are called to be agents of positive change in the world. Our faith curriculum emphasizes the importance of social justice and service to others. Through community service projects and outreach initiatives, students actively engage in acts of charity, compassion, and solidarity with those in need.
We believe that faith should be seamlessly integrated into all areas of learning. Our faith curriculum extends beyond religion classes, finding its place in various subjects, such as language arts, social studies, and science. This integration allows students to see the relevance of their faith in all aspects of their education and lives.
Our faith curriculum inspires students to put their beliefs into action. Through various activities and projects, students learn how to apply their faith to real-life situations, making ethical decisions and striving to live as authentic witnesses of Christ's love.
Our school is a faith-centered community where love, respect, and inclusion thrive. We promote a sense of belonging, encouraging students to support and uplift one another on their faith journeys. Our faith curriculum fosters unity and a shared commitment to living out the Gospel values in our everyday interactions.
At St. Francis School, our faith curriculum plays a pivotal role in shaping compassionate, informed, and spiritually grounded individuals. Through these goals, we endeavor to inspire a love for God, a passion for learning, and a lifelong commitment to living as faithful disciples of Christ.
