St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School is an exceptional community nestled in the heart of Vista, focusing on our motto, Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve. Students receive a well-rounded education centered on church teachings, and we strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. Our technologically sound, rigorous academic program and extracurricular and enrichment activities prepare students for success in life. The greatest testament is the comment we hear often from families about how peaceful the campus is and the loving, family atmosphere that permeates the St. Francis School community.

We believe children should have the option of a Catholic education regardless of the family’s financial status and the child’s learning differences. We offer tuition assistance to families and multiple levels of academic support to meet each child's individual needs. Our exceptional learning support program and focus on Catholic Social Teachings make St. Francis School a unique place where every child can get what he/she needs to grow and succeed spiritually, academically, emotionally, and physically.

Setting St. Francis School apart is a faculty and staff committed to a rigorous and advanced educational approach with an immersive Catholic community experience. Creativity, innovation, critical thinking, and nurturing life skills are paramount in our curriculum as we offer weekly math, STEM, Spanish, language arts, writing workshops, music, and art classes. Students also have the opportunity to participate in drama, journalism, yearbook, student council, choir, and academic decathlon after school.
