Academics

Education begins with a solid foundation, but flourishes in a friendly, more personal environment. Our student to teacher ratio of 14:1 provides students with the individual attention needed to thrive—in the classroom, in the community, and later, in the world. Accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, St. Francis de Sales’ academic program is guided by standards designed to provide a competent faculty, and a variety of instructional strategies, which allow each student to
be successful.

Our goal is to provide an educational and religious environment in which young men and women:

  • Develop Christian values.
  • Obtain necessary skills to pursue higher education.
  • Learn to respect cultural and ethnic diversity on all levels.
  • Become responsible citizens.

The departments of Art, Technical Graphics, English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Theology, Science and Social Studies each offer comprehensive, four-year programs.

Our commitment to intellectual achievement is evident in the excellence of our teachers and their superior credentials. Representing almost 500 years of classroom experience, our 25-person faculty is dedicated to the high standards of Catholic education. Fifty percent have been part of the St. Francis de Sales community for a decade or more—nearly 30 percent have earned Masters’ Degrees. Our teachers often reject more lucrative financial opportunities to support the vital traditions of an educational community proud of its past and excited about its future.
