Our mission is to help all students achieve their personal bests. For some, that means preparing for honors and AP courses and becoming National Merit Scholars and high school valedictorians. For others, that means identifying ways of learning not available in “one-size-fits-all” schools.

The greatness of Franciscan Academy lies in its willingness to value each child as a gift of God and to discover how that child excels.

Through our Learning Community Partnership with Lourdes University, we provide unique and extraordinary opportunities to explore arts and academics:
•    Overall 12-to-1 student-teacher ratio
•    Foreign language and culture classes offered in Spanish, French, Chinese and Russian
•    Advanced mathematics
•    Science classes offering access to the Lourdes University Life Lab as well as to our own box turtle habitat and butterfly migration station
•    Technology classes taught as early as Preschool
•    Home of the “Artist of Life” program and The Jake Thornton Art Project for development of the visual arts
•    Music and theater classes, including band and school plays with performances held in the Lourdes University Franciscan Center, a professional theater space
•    Middle School Integrated Studies Program offering opportunities for primary research and access to experts in many fields
•    Middle School seminars in logic, rhetoric and debate so that students learn to question, communicate and collaborate
•    Tutoring by the Sisters of St. Francis, as well as auxiliary services programs for differentiated learning
