My 6 year old loves SFA! In the beginning I felt it was just a regular school that allows prayer and teaches religion. It wasn't until after I joined a moms group in Orange County and met several moms with 6 year old daughters, that I was AMAZED with SFA! With these moms, I would have get togethers and our girls would work on their homework. Two of the girls went to public school and my daughter and another went to private. To make a long story short my daughter was helping the other girls with their work and reading books to them to pass time. My daughter was a prek graduate of Tutor Time and began Kindergarten without knowing how to pronounce or spell or anything. Now she is in 1st grade and reading over 3rd grade level. I'm no super mom, I don't sit with her and read to her like I should, but with 2 other ittle one's its hard to draw attention to only one. I believe from the dedication of teachers and staff at SFA, they truly tought her all she knows. Honestly, I really had no idea how much she progressed until we exposed her to other children her age from other schools, both private and public. I was truly impressed and grateful to SFA and so proud of my daughter.
My daughter just started attending this year. It has been an amazing experience for her and for us as parents. Her teacher is outstanding, the staff is amazing, it has just been a great experience.
SFA is an all-encompassing, nurturing environment. With the guidance of all SFA faculty and staff, our children have developed into concerned, intuitive and intelligent community members. Thank God our family is fortunate to be able to be a part of this tight-knit community.
We have been part of SFA since 2004. Our children have been nurtured spiritually and academically from day one. They live their Catholic identity and experience Christ's immense love daily . We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful school, where they can celebrate their faith.
This is a great school. They are teaching much more than academics. They are teaching values and social responsibility. We are extremely happy with the quality of education our child is receiving. The families are welcoming and it feels like a small town. Grateful that our son's attends! And our son is proud to go to St.Francis!
Can't say enough great stuff about this school. We have such a rich community teachers, staff, administration and families and of course students. If you want a great education, a very spiritually filled Catholic environment, a community of families that is always there for each other, and students who put others first....then St. Francis of Assisi Yorba Linda is the place for you. I know it is for our family.
Our family has been part of the St. Francis community for over 12 years and I'm so grateful! My children have received not only one of the finest educational experiences, but also we have all been fed spiritually. From the teachers, staff. priests, all the way through the families there is goodness!
We have been part of this amazing school for 3 years! Amazing teachers who genuinely care about the students and love what they do!
We are a family of four kids and have been a part of the St. Francis family for 7 years. We continue to feel blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing community. The teachers are super involved and give the children the attention that is expected in a small classroom setting. They are a fine example of how to live a faith filled life on a daily basis. I truly feel that being at this school has given my husband, children and I the grand opportunity to meet an over whelming amount of beautiful people committed to raising their children to excel morally and academically.
I have been a Saint Francis parent for ten years and I am thrilled with the faith based education my children have received. I believe that they are better prepared than most for high school. My children look forward to school and have built wonderful friendships with fellow students. The teachers care about their students academic as well as social skills. They have given my children wonderful foundations to build upon.
