At St. Francis de Sales School, we have a firm commitment to creating peacemakers. Our Peace Program has received national recognition for teaching children how to resolve their differences in a non-confrontational manner. The Peace Program has helped children cope and live with their surroundings â€“- and their multicultural differences -â€“ in an atmosphere of respect, giving, sharing and taking individual responsibility. These lessons sustain our students throughout their lives.--Saint Francis de Sales School aims to help children to become good students; model good citizenship in a diverse student body for the future, here or in their native countries; prepare students to pursue community and world peace; prepare students for leadership in academics and society; and model responsibility for students and respect for others.
