A Little About Us
More than a school, more like a family.
When we ask our current families what they love about St. Francis Xavier School, they usually talk about the family atmosphere and how everyone knows everyone in our school community. They also talk about the values that we teach at SFX and how those values are displayed at home in their children as well. Our families talk about how our staff has been here forever and how dedicated the teachers are to each child’s development.
As a school, we feel incredibly humbled and honored to get to shape the minds of the next generation. These kids – your kids – are the reason we love what we do.
What is different at St. Francis Xavier?
Our teachers work with children to develop their whole self. Just as academics are important, so are spiritual, emotional, and social development.
We follow the example of Christ. Faith is woven into our daily curriculum, and we get to pray at school. How cool is that?!
We care for each other like family at SFX. We protect, love, and nurture your child like they are our own.
Meet our Principal, Bonnie Van Heel
Hi – I’m Bonnie, the Principal here at St. Francis Xavier. We’re so excited about your interest in our SFX school community; we can’t wait to show you around. When you schedule a private tour, you’ll experience the family-atmosphere and loving environment of our school.
Our academic curriculum is strong and so is our focus on overall development. You’ll hear us talk about our ‘whole child’ approach, which means we also focus on social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development.
Most of our teachers and staff have been here a decade or two, so you may see familiar faces. We are certain you and your kiddos will love it here as much as we do!

What Our Families Say
Jordan and Cassie Sandstrom
I absolutely love watching my children grow in their faith and learn valuable life lessons about treating others with kindness and respect. The staff at SFX foster a safe, caring, and loving environment that is felt the moment you walk into the school. The small class sizes ensure exceptional interaction between our children and their teacher. The smile on our children’s faces when they walk out of a school day is a huge reflection of SFX.
Mike and Allie Schiff
It is not just the outstanding academics that make St Francis great. The teachers, most of whom have spent a considerable amount of their careers at St Francis, have this dedication that is evident in their striving to help these kids flourish-not only academically, but socially, emotionally and spiritually as well. We are so thankful for St Francis.
Elicia and Shawn Omann
We love SFX for so many reasons. The small class sizes, and the one-on-one attention the kids receive. But most of all, the teachers! Not only are they educators, but they treat our kids like family, and help us to continue raising kind and thoughtful kids.
Nick and Anna Gruber
We have fallen in love with the people and programs at SFX. The teachers are incredible at making sure our kids feel loved, heard, and right at home. The academics and small class sizes are phenomenal, but it’s the family of people who pour in to our kids every day that make SFX so great!
