St. Frances of Rome

The mission of St. Frances of Rome School is to build a community in which God is the center of our lives.  Parents and teachers work as partners to create a secure, nurturing and loving environment that allows students to explore and develop their God-given talents and excel in all aspects of life.  We are committed towards the formation of culturally aware persons of faith who respect the dignity of all life.  Our hope is that our students will grow to become followers of the Gospel message of Jesus who are compassionate and contributing global citizens. 
 

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

St. Frances of  Rome Catholic School is an academic community whose well-rounded curriculum is permeated by Catholic faith and Gospel values. We assist and enable parents to fulfill their role as primary educators of their children as they develop their intellectual abilities, critical thinking, moral decision-making, and their personal relationship with God. We awaken in our students an enthusiasm for lifelong learning and an ambition to achieve academic excellence and to lead a well-balanced life. 

We challenge our students to answer God’s call by instilling in them the value of social responsibility. We inspire students to be global citizens who serve others while working for justice and peace in our multicultural society. We foster a spiritual life by giving each student opportunities to practice Christian values in our school community, which leads them to be active participants in both Church and society. 

Vision Statement 

The vision for St. Frances of Rome Catholic School is to promote and educate the whole child and to prepare each student to make meaningful contributions to their community and in the world. Through a safe nurturing environment, while integrating the latest technology, we strive to develop academic potential, spiritual and moral growth, and create socially responsible and environmentally conscious individuals. Our vision is to continue preserving the tradition of family and community values through partnerships among parents, students, staff, administration, and clergy.

NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY

SCHOOL STUDENT NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY 

The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.

[Note that this School Student Non-Discrimination Policy does not provide nor imply that the archdiocese waives any legal exceptions or exemptions that may apply to it as a religious nonprofit organization.]
