Teaching God's Children Since 1743

Dedicated to helping children realize their tremendous potential, Saint Francis Academy provides high-quality Catholic education in a nurturing, supportive environment. Academic instruction, sacramental preparation, and spiritual formation combine to give students in pre-kindergarten to grade eight a well-rounded foundation for a life of learning and growing in God's love.

From the Principal

Dear Parents,

We had an incredible Catholic School's Week. Many thanks to all our volunteers. The Book Fair and Science projects were wonderful. Sunday, the hall was filled with grandparents and all their families too for a special time together. Msgr. Coyle's cousin Ed Dougherty (professional PGA golfer) spoke to the students about his faith and his Catholic education. He signed autographs for many of the children. Check out his picture on the left side of this web page within the "Photo Gallery" button. On Tuesday, the students were entertained by Mr. Grout's amazing juggling and magical talents...not to mention a FREE pizza lunch provided by our incredible Home & School Assn. On Wednesday, the entire school watched the SFA video together and were treated with special surprises too. Thursday we honored our volunteers and our championship cheerleaders led us all. Friday we all attended Mass followed by "Doughnuts with Dad" "Muffins with Mom" and "Tastycakes with the teachers" May God bless all our families and teachers for their sacrifice to give the children the greatest gift of all: To pray, learn and spread Our Lord's light on a daily basis!!!

Middle States Evaluation INCREDIBLE!

The Middle States Assn. visited our school in October and were very very impressed. They gave us a "Glowing Report" that will be finalized in the next two months. They met with our entire staff after their three day visit and described how fortunate we were to be a part of such a positive academic and spiritual experience. They told us that they would love to trade places with any of our staff...a beautiful compliment!!!

School Closings & Delays

How do you know if the school is closed or dismissing early due to snow or icy conditions???
Parents can do any of the following:
1) Go to the school’s website at www.sfabally.org 2) Turn to (Ch. 69 TV) WFMZ
3) Call the school’s answering machine after 6:15am for closing and delay information 610-845-7364.
***The best thing to do is register your cell phone and/or email on the “Newsflash” button of our school’s website. This will notify you immediately by text message and/or email of any school situations***

Please note: We do not follow the Boyertown School District for closings and delays. If you reside in another school district, you must be aware of St. Francis Academy’s closing or delay schedule. For example, do not send your child to school if your district is operating on a one hour delay and St. Francis has a two hour delay. The school will not be open for any children arriving earlier than what has been announced.
Special Pre-K Note: If there is a two hour delay, the Pre-k class will be canceled.
