As a member of the faculty at St. Francis, I am so privileged to be part of this unique and special community. We are a school dedicated to our students in every aspect and we are here because we love working with them! St. Francis faculty are gifted teachers who could teach anywhere but chose to be here because they support progressive education and enjoy teaching in an environment where students are placed at the center of everything we do. To have the freedom to not be boxed in by a prescribed curriculum and to engage with students authentically is just amazing! Rich discussions take place in every classroom but they also happen outside the classroom, we live up to our mission as The School of Thought!
I can't say enough great things about this school and the experience our child has had at SFS High School. The faculty is engaged, always encouraging and know how to get the best out of each student in a thoughtful, and supportive environment. Students genuinely support each other and are challenged academically with a great variety of courses and lots of AP classes if that is desired. There are tons of clubs for students to join and make friends, and the school embraces diversity and offers a voice for all. The administration is great; they do a wonderful job of focusing on student success in a manner that is transparent and consistent. If you have a child who might prefer a smaller student body, with small classes and a big heart, I'd wholly encourage you to consider SFS!
St. Francis is a warm sunrise sweeping over bluegrass hills. While the word education can evoke the sense of old, dusty books and similarly dusty teachers, this is far from the case at St. Francis. There is a radiance to education at this school, imparted largely by the fundamental understanding that learning is a journey, not a destination. The teachers of St. Francis understand that instruction is not the rote regurgitation of information, but the sharing of wisdom. Self-improvement is a joy to behold and in holding each other to high standards, it is no accident that the quality and depth of character in the school's students is dazzling to behold. St. Francis is home and haven for those seeking more without ever feeling consigned to be one specific thing. If knowledge builds perception, and perception shapes one's reality, then this school helps the dreamers dream, the makers make, and the shapers grasp the means of building a better world for themselves and each other.
