St. Francis Xavier School is a Catholic school intended to provide a quality Catholic Education in grades Preschool through Eight to children of families who are registered members of St. Francis Xavier Parish as well as other Catholic Parishes in the area.

1. Parishioners: i.e. children of families who are registered in, attend Liturgy, are involved in service ministry at the parish or school, and contribute to the support of St. Francis Xavier Parish.

2. Catholics from parishes without an elementary school: i.e. non-parishioners who are registered in, attend, and contribute to a parish without an elementary school. (i.e., Holy Martyrs, St. Martin of Tours, Our Lady of Grace, St. Stephens, and Our Lady Help of Christians).

3. Non-Catholic families who are seeking a Catholic private school for their children.

(Families are discouraged from registering in the parish for the sole purpose of admission of their children to St. Francis Xavier School.)

Children entering Grade 1 must be six years of age by August 1st and/or provide evidence of successfully completing Kindergarten in an accredited school.

Children entering Kindergarten must be five years of age by August 1st. All incoming Kindergarten children will participate in the “Development Indicators for the Assessment of Learning” (Dial 4) screening to determine readiness for Kindergarten. Registration for Kindergarten students is held in the spring. Applications are considered according to the admission priorities.

Names of those interested in registering for St. Francis Xavier School will be taken for each grade level.  Once a student has been accepted, a formal registration will be taken, including a non-refundable registration fee.
