St. Francis Xavier School

St. Francis Xavier School is a Catholic Independent School of the Vancouver Archdiocese. It is a dual stream elementary school, established by St. Francis Xavier Parish, and it follows the policies and procedures recommended by the Catholic Independent School Board. Our school enrollment consists of 440 students with a class size of approximately 28 students.

St. Francis Xavier School offers education from Kindergarten to Grade 7, with an onsite Daycare and Preschool Program. We are located in between Vancouver's Mount Pleasant and False Creek Flats neighbourhoods and cater to students from across the Lower Mainland.

The School shares in the mission of the Catholic Church to proclaim and build the Kingdom of God. As a faith community, is committed to excellence in Catholicity and in all areas that promote the development of the whole child to his or her full potential. Strives to develop Christian leaders, responsible citizens and life-long learners.

The School follows the direction and guidance it receives from the Archbishop of the Vancouver Archdiocese. Parents, as the first educators of their children, must work together with and give their full support to the staff to provide an environment where children can grow in academics and faith.

Our main objectives are:

• To provide an environment conducive to the development of the student’s entire person
• To educate the students to realize the importance of obedience and to show respect for authority
• To help the students integrate into Canadian society and encourage them to retain and appreciate their native culture
• To increase the students’ desire to learn and to strive for excellence within their reach.
