School Notes
- St. Francis de Sales - St. Stephens School is dedicated to a philosophy of building a Catholic educational community among students, teachers and parents.
- We strongly encourage each student to nurture his talents and virtues in imitation of Jesus Christ. The school community is dedicated to helping child and family look back to Baptism as an initiation into a faith community and ahead to Confirmation as the means of developing and responding to a call to love and serve God, neighbor and self.
- As a faith community we cultivate in our students a sense of appreciation and respect for life and the world around us.
- They learn that all is a creation of God, a full understanding and love for self.
- The child is helped to grow intellectually, morally, emotionally and physically, resulting in becoming all that the child is capable of being, a firm foundation in all subjects - with greater emphasis on reading, mathematics and language arts, an ability to reach out to individuals in the community and try to understand the contrasts, the variety, the diversity among people in this community and to other communities of the world, how to live in peace with friends and neighbors in the Spirit of the Gospel.
