BELIEFS

 At St. Francis Xavier School, we believe:

God is present in each child, and we will reflect that love so children may see Jesus in themselves and in others.

Children need a safe and sensitive environment in which they can experience the meaning of "Christian Community" increasing their awareness of their responsibilities to themselves and others.

We are called to encourage and develop faculty and students spiritual growth by providing creative liturgies, reconciliation, daily prayers, devotions, and other liturgical forms of worship.

All children are capable of learning, so they need academic standards that are challenging, attainable, and reflective of current trends in education and technology.

Student's individual learning needs and differences, as well as their accomplishments, must be acknowledged and recognized.

School, home, and parish must play an interactive, mutually-supportive role in fostering children's growth and development.
