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 Tuition 2025-2026 School Year $7,735 per student (Up to 3 students) 4th Student No Charge Payments Plans Available Applicable for all Grade Levels (TK - 8th) 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) - $4,000 Flat Rate per year - Part-time (available daily until 4:30pm) - $3,200 Flat Rate per year Fees Application and Testing / New Student $60 *Registration Fee (includes $50 Classroom Fee & FACTS 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.

Interested in St. Francis Elementary as a potential school for your child? Check out our admissions process or book a tour. Inspiring. Loving. Thriving. Together Sr. Claire Graham, an alumna of St. Francis, had a single saying that sums up everything that St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School embodies… “No matter the question, the answer is always Love!” This simple statement, an extension of our patron St. Francis, is the essence of our school. One of trust. One of faith. One of compassion. One of belonging. One of love. We try, to the best of our ability, to live this way of life with our students, parents, families, and community in all we do. Belonging is what makes everything we do work. When students feel they belong, they are engaged, they learn, they take care of each other, and they thrive. When families feel they belong, they trust in what happens at school, they feel their children are safe, and they are part of a community that watches out for one another. St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School is a community, first and foremost. A community in which everyone belongs regardless of background. Our goal is to set young people into the world who take care of others first, have deepened their own faith journey, work as hard as possible at all times, tackle challenges, contribute to the world around them, and most importantly, LOVE! Welcome to St. Francis! INQUIRIES We are parents of a 1st grader and started at St. Francis when she was in kindergarten. Coming from a different preschool, joining a class that had already been together for a year, and starting in the middle of the pandemic, we were a bit apprehensive about our daughter meeting people and feeling welcomed by a new school community. But the St. Francis community was amazing. From the first day, she was greeted by name at drop off by the principal, teachers, and staff. She was included in activities, staff helped her meet people and make friends, and she was accepted as part of the group by her class. The apprehension about starting at a new school turned into excitement about going to school each day, and our family could not be happier with our experience at St. Francis. We really appreciate the emphasis on the Schoolwide Learning Expectations and the focus on educating the whole person. The academics have been outstanding, and our daughter has been challenged to do her best academically each day. But in addition to strong academics, we appreciate how St. Francis has built a community that allows students to be unique, ask questions, and acknowledge the diversity of the world around them. Students are taught to think for themselves; not that there is one correct way to think. Difficult conversations are had directly with students, not avoided. St. Francis emphasizes a curriculum of kindness, understanding, open-mindedness, and acceptance of all people, and there is a focus on how our differences make our community better and more interesting. These are not empty words on the school’s website or mission statement; there is a top-down commitment, starting with the principal and staff, and reinforced with the students, to recognize and discuss the diversity and uniqueness of each person’s experience, background, and ideas. We could not be happier at St. Francis, and are looking forward to many years ahead at the school, Mike & Flo - March 2022 (1st Grade Parents) Apply to SFE & Timeline Apply to SFE & Timeline Finances Finances Tours Tours TK & Kindergarten Readiness
