St. Francis is an IB candidate school for a Primary Years Program (PYP) and Middle Years Program (MYP). International Baccalaureate International Baccalaureate Authorized Primary Years Program International Baccalaureate Authorized - Middle Years Program St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School is proud to be an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, offering both the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP). Once admitted into St. Francis, all students automatically participate in our IB programmes. As an inclusive school community rooted in our Catholic and Franciscan mission, every child—regardless of background, ability, experience, or need—is a full member of our IB learning community. We are one school, united in the development of compassionate, inquisitive, and globally minded learners. IB World Schools exist across the globe. Like St. Francis, they are places where students grow as knowledgeable, reflective young people who care deeply about the world in which they live, engage with neighbors near and far, value God’s creation, and embrace our shared calling to inclusivity and social justice. Our IB programmes are guided by our two IB Teacher-Coordinators: Mrs. Isabel Herzberger (PYP) and Mrs. Sharon Pressburg-Nevans (MYP) . In addition to maintaining program documentation, Ms. Herzberger and Mrs. Pressburg-Nevans support teachers through ongoing training, curriculum development, planning, and communication of our schoolwide learning goals. While our founding values and Franciscan identity remain constant, the IB framework strengthens and elevates the way we plan, teach, and learn. With increased collaboration time, professional development, and shared instructional practices, teachers are empowered to design meaningful, concept-driven units. As an authorized IB school, students now have even greater opportunities to demonstrate their learning, reflect on their growth, and share their knowledge proudly with families. Many of the essential components of an IB education have long been part of who we are. St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School has always been a place where: • Teachers collaborate across grade levels and specialties • Students engage with world languages and cultures (Spanish & Italian) • Learning is concept-driven and integrated across subject areas • Physical Education and the Fine Arts support the whole-child approach • International-mindedness and service guide our mission • Community is at the heart of everything we do As an authorized IB World School, we continue preparing students to live in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare—curious, compassionate, respectful learners who strive to contribute to a more just and peaceful world. St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School is a fully authorized PYP and MYP IB World School. Below is our welcome from the International Baccalaureate Organization: The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who recognize their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet and help to create a better and more peaceful world. For more information about the International Baccalaureate, please visit ibo.org to learn more about the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) offered at our school.

Our son who is now in 3rd grade matriculated at kindergarten. It was an easy transition and has loved the school ever since. The teachers and administrators are amazing! The kids are very close and supportive of each other from TK to 8th grade. It is a very positive environment. Even though most commute to the school from different areas we still feel very connected. It is a community of learning, care, service and support. We started our daughter in TK this year. I was nervous with her being only 4 years old. She adjusted after just one day and loves her classmates. The school is academically challenging but does not overload the kids with unnecessary work. The many events and activities provide great socializing opportunities with other families. The afterschool care is essential for us. The kids have so much fun.

He loves going to school, he has loved each teacher, teacher’s aide, and all of the extension staff members. When we drop him off each morning, the Principal, Vice-Principal and other teachers and staff are at the entrances to the school, greeting the families and the kids - by name - each day. As the school navigates the pandemic, communication has been excellent, and the teachers have been so patient with families just trying to keep it all together. The school quickly and carefully pivoted when it was possible to be reopen, and developed and executed an excellent plan to safely bring kids back on campus if the family made that choice. I can’t say enough how fortunate we are to have my son at a school run by an Administration that cares deeply about my son’s academic, social and emotional growth. Our family chose to send him back on campus this fall when we could do so, and we feel confident in his safety because the team at the school has remained consistent and thorough in implementing their COVID plan. The academics are superb – there are teachers at that school that are at the top of their field, constantly seeking out the best tools and resources to help the students achieve far beyond what a parent might expect their child to be doing at school. There are definitely many in the Sacramento area. We did check into several schools, and when it came down to what felt right for us, it was St. Francis. It’s a well-run organization staffed by wonderful, professional people that have chosen to share their talents with St. Francis students. The spectacular academics, extra-curricular activities, sports and resources were only a part of our decision in selecting St. Francis. In comparing schools we toured during our research, we also felt that St. Francis had clearly hired the warmest and most caring professionals and provided the most nurturing environment for our son. We have never looked back, Karen - December 2020 (Parent of a 3rd Grader) Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten If your child is applying for Kindergarten, they must be 5 years old by September 1st and have a pre-school teacher recommendation, if attending preschool.

Tuition, Extension and Financial Aid at St. Francis. Tuition & Fees We have been a part of the St. Francis Elementary School community for five years. When we first toured St. Francis, we immediately knew that we had finally found the right school for our children. St. Francis offers a well-rounded education starting in TK (including Music, Spanish, Technology, Physical Education, and Art classes). Not only does St. Francis offer an amazing education, but they also nurture each student’s social-emotional well-being, and compassion for others is regularly incorporated into the curriculum and school activities. All of the staff at St. Francis, including the office and extension personnel, are friendly and caring. We have always been impressed that on the first day of school, the staff knows each student by name, and every morning throughout the school year, the students are personally greeted by administration and staff. St. Francis truly feels like a family, and we feel incredibly blessed to be a part of such a supportive and diverse community. - Parent of a 3rd Grader and a TK Student Tuition Rates To Find: Registration Forms & Information Financial Aid Information Community Tab> Forms & Resources Tuition 2026-2027 School Year $8,050 per student (Up to 3 students) 4th Student No Charge Payments Plans Available Applicable for all Grade Levels (TK - 8th) 3% Early Pay Tuition Discount if paid in full by 6/30/2026 $7,808.50 $15,617 $23,425.50 4th Student No Charge Extension Charge - Per student Transitional Kindergarten to Grade 8/Student - Full-time (available daily until 6pm) - $4,160 Flat Rate per year - Part-time (available daily until 4:30pm) - $3,320 Flat Rate per year Fees Application and Testing / New Student $60 *Registration Fee (includes Classroom Fees, Diocesan Assessment, FACTS Fees, Student Insurance, Technology, Building Maintenance Fee, Administrative Fees/ Student $700 Returned Item Charge / Activity $35 Sports Activity Fee / Sport / Track & Cross Country / VB / Basketball / Golf / Flag Football Range in price depending on sport Interim Extension Fee (available for student athletes) $20 8th Grade Graduation Fee / Student $125 Early pay tuition, full tuition and full extension may be paid with checks, money orders, cash or credit card checks.
