Over 125 years strong!
St. Francis Xavier School, established in 1883, is dedicated to providing our students with a quality education true to the Catholic tradition where academic excellence is pursued by all. Our faith is modeled and taught, expressed in worship, prayer and service to others. Our high standards are based upon the Diocesan Curriculum Guidelines and the State of Michigan Academic Standards. We encourage each child to grow spiritually, academically and socially. We hope to nurture students who will be dedicated to life-long learning and who will make a positive difference in the world.
