Mission Statement
The mission of St. Francis is to foster life-long learning in a family
atmosphere of love and safety where friends are made and joy is celebrated. We
do this using our unique Salesian style, integrating the essential qualities of:
church, school, playground, and home into the educational environment.
School Profile
St
Francis Central Coast Catholic High School is a
California not-for-profit
corporation animated by the charism of St. John Bosco. The school maintains a
partnership with the Diocese of
Monterey and with the
Western
Province of the Salesians
of Don Bosco. St. Francis serves young men and women in grades 9-12 with an
exclusively college prep curriculum in a Salesian atmosphere where the integral
education of the young is at the heart of all school decisions. All aspects of
the school—interscholastic sports, activities, clubs, campus ministry, retreats,
service projects, visual and performing arts, and student government--complement
the academic offerings to provide the students with a complete education that
prepares them for entrance into a four-year university or college, for
leadership in the 21st century, and for a fuller awareness of their
status as children of God.
Curriculum
St.
Francis offers an exclusively college preparatory curriculum that fulfills all
UC and CSU entrance requirements, as well as those of most every college and
university in
America. These
required courses are supplemented by electives in visual and performing arts,
modern languages, and advanced classes. Instruction in theology and community
service projects are integral parts of the curriculum each of the four years of
the high school experience.
Accreditation
St. Francis Central Coast Catholic High School is fully accredited by the
Western Association of Schools and Colleges and by the Western Catholic
Education Association.
