Greetings,

The process of selecting the right school for your child is a challenging and complex one. As you begin this journey, I hope you will consider St. Francis de Sales of Lake Geneva. Our mission is to provide sound spiritual, educational, moral, ethical, healthy and social teachings. Our 3K through 8th grade school model provides a nurturing and student growth focused learning community. St. Francis de Sales is a Catholic school that is committed to communicating Christ to students through example, guidance and encouragement, while providing the highest level of academic programming that leads to post-secondary success for all students.

St. Francis de Sales curriculum is designed to meet and exceed the Milwaukee Archdiocese Core Curriculum Content Standards for Education. We provide a rigorous curriculum in a warm and loving facility located in the heart of Lake Geneva. Our dedicated and experienced staff model a love of learning through ongoing professional development and evaluation. Class sizes are small and provide for individualized attention and energetic learning experiences. The ultimate goal is to enable students to become independent learners and thinkers who are ready to compete globally at a high level. We emphasize going beyond the school walls with wide-ranging field trips and intellectual experiences to bring quality curricular and extra-curricular activities to our students.

I also tell prospective parents that St. Francis de Sales is composed of a thoughtful group of educators. As I walk through the halls and into classrooms every day, I witness a staff facilitating high academic excellence, but who also know that teaching about the qualities of being respectful, responsible and caring are equally important. We collaborate often to create an environment where students can strive, believe and achieve.

St. Francis de Sales is blessed with an active and supportive parent community. Parent involvement in the school exemplifies a strong commitment to Catholic education and contributes to the success and excellence of our school. Whether supporting our staff, organizing after school experiences for students, coaching, or coordinating events, like our Jog-a-Thon for Education, parent volunteer hours are always valued and appreciated!

I am truly honored to have this opportunity to serve God and His people in such an amazing school. I look forward to having the opportunity to answer any questions you may have about visiting or attending St. Francis de Sales.

Keep your head up and your heart full,
Eric R. Gallagher, Principal
