Welcome to St. Francis School of Vista
For Families Who Want to Provide Their Children with the
Finest Opportunity for a Well-Rounded Education
From STEM and Language Arts to Music and Leadership Programs
Setting St. Francis School apart is a faculty and staff committed to rigorous and advanced educational approach with an immersive Catholic community experience. Creativity, innovation, critical thinking and nurturing life skills are paramount in our curriculum as we offer weekly classed in math, STEM, Spanish, language arts, writing workshop, music and art. Students also have the opportunity to participate in drama, journalism, yearbook, student council, choir and academic decathlon after school.
Welcome Fall!
Summer is almost behind us. Tomorrow is the first day of fall, and we can feel the change in the air. I like the crisp weather but had to wear a sweatshirt this morning. September always goes by slowly; once October hits, time flies by too quickly. Please make sure you take some time to rest and relax! We always have a lot of things to accomplish, and your good health is crucial. Several children and staff members have been losing their voices and getting sick. Please build your immunity up.
Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Matthew. Matthew was a tax collector and one of the twelve apostles who left everything and followed Jesus. He did not hold a prominent place in the Bible, but he was one of the twelve disciples who had helped establish the church and was the author of one of the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel according to Matthew. He teaches us to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness. We find all of God’s promises true when we do that and find purpose and fulfillment in life.
Let us try to be the face of Jesus to all we meet.
​
Sincerely in Christ,
Elizabeth Joseph, Principal
