Welcome to Saint Francis International School

A warm welcome to you all from the community at St. Francis International School. Our school provides a blended American and International curriculum to children from ages 3-14. Children are inspired to succeed in a close-knit environment, and the school maintains a community feel throughout. We look to find the potential in every child, equipping them with the tools needed to be successful global citizens.

Academics

At St. Francis, we believe in the uniqueness of each child and the importance of the early years in developing the child’s positive self-image, establishing language skills, and encouraging creativity. We are certain that children learn by being involved in the learning process and by exploring the world around them with teachers who are sensitive to their needs.

Testimonials

Early Years, Preschool and kindy, at St Francis International school are like entering in a sweet and harmonious family, that gives all children access to foundations for skill development and inclusive mindset

Con la presente per esprimere la nostra sincera gratitudine e stima verso le insegnanti Ms. Emily e Ms. Rona. La professionalità e l’amore che nutrono per il loro ruolo viene percepito dai nostri figli in maniera evidente. Sono entusiasti della loro scuola ed i loro progressi sono sempre stati notevoli. P.S. Mia figlia Greta parla ancora con tanto amore delle sue ex maestre.

Our wonderful travel in the magical world of Preschool and Kindy at Saint Francis has finished, and now our two children started the new one in Elementary with strong personal, linguistical and learning skills that Preschool and Kindy fantastic teachers had planted in their mind and soul! Thanks for these great unforgettable years!

My son grew up at Saint Francis, he started in Kindergarten and finished in 8th grade, now thanks to them he is a straight A student in high school. I consider Saint Francis a fair and safe place where my child felt he belonged and was willing to be himself with his passions and expectations.

I have been in Saint Francis since fourth grade; the teachers always find ways to make our lessons more entertaining with a variety of activities. Over the past five years, the teachers have helped me discover my passions for art, science, and literature. I enjoyed my time at St. Francis and wouldn't want it any other way.

To keep it short, my time at St. Francis was full of ups and downs, but at the end of it all, I wouldn’t change a single thing

I spent 7 years in St. Francis International School. Here I found love, all teachers supported me everyday, inspiring me for an exciting learning and growing. I had lots of fun and I will remember my school forever. Yes, St. Francis will be always "MY SCHOOL", my big loved family
