At St. Francis Borgia Grade School (SFBGS), we are committed to providing an exceptional Catholic education that nurtures each child’s mind, heart, and spirit. Our academic programs are designed to challenge students to reach their full potential through rigorous instruction, hands-on learning, and a strong integration of faith and values across all subject areas.

From our early learners to our middle school students, we emphasize critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication, preparing our students to be lifelong learners and faithful leaders in an ever-changing world.

One Classroom Program

One Classroom is a faith-filled initiative that ensures students of all abilities have the opportunity to learn and grow together in a supportive, inclusive environment. At St. Francis Borgia Grade School, we believe that every child is created in the image and likeness of God and deserves a place in our community.

Through the One Classroom partnership, we provide the resources, support, and individualized strategies needed for students with unique learning needs to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually alongside their peers. This model enriches the entire student body by promoting compassion, empathy, and unity, reflecting our mission to live the Gospel every day.
