My school is a private all-girls catholic school, with rigorous academics. Academically it's been hard but I have always had the support I need to succeed in school. I have many many friends and cool teachers that have taught me valuable lessons. I also think the cafeteria serves the best school food in California.

St. Francis provided my daughters so many opportunities to realize how strong, creative & capable they truly are. The all girl environment allowed them to steer the discussion, to chart their own path, and to be the leaders. The St. Francis community, no matter what your faith may be, will instill the value of service, the need for grace, and the hope that only faith can give.
