Welcome!
As principal of St. Francis Borgia Grade School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school. Educating students since 1838, Borgia is a place rich in tradition and heavily invested in faith and family. Ours is a nurturing, supportive environment that thrives from the contributions of its members. With the help of faculty, staff, and parents, SFBGS is a place where children grow as students in God’s love.
Borgia is a co-educational Catholic grade school that begins with preschool and continues through eighth grade. With several options for preschoolers and a full-day Kindergarten, our students embark on an academic journey that affords them the security of a familiar community during their formative years built on a firm foundation.
St. Francis Borgia Grade School welcomes students of every religious belief, race, and ethnic origin. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing the highest quality Catholic education for each student. Combining deep-rooted traditions and current best practices, we are dedicated to equipping children with the tools necessary to be successful in the 21st century. The result produces individuals who are responsible, life-long learners, effective communicators, and problem solvers. Our students learn to rely on their faith and become active, contributing members of society.
At St. Francis Borgia, we take pride in maintaining high academic expectations and achievements among our students. Our students’ performance on local and standardized assessments are evidence that learning is the top priority at SFBGS. Additionally, the majority of our graduating students are accepted to St. Francis Borgia Regional High School, and other well respected private high schools in the surrounding area.
We are, however, mindful that each child is unique, bringing special talents and interests to our community. Our faculty works diligently to create meaningful learning experiences within a student-centered environment motivating children to actively participate in their own education. We recognize the imperative need for students to understand how their classroom work translates to the world in which they live.
Thank you for considering St. Francis Borgia Grade School for your child’s education. SFBGS prides itself on providing academic excellence, a positive, welcoming community, respect for all, and most importantly, strong faith formation. While the information on our website is comprehensive, nothing can take the place of a personal visit. I encourage
you to schedule a tour so that you can see firsthand how we build strength through faith and knowledge. For more information or to schedule a tour, we welcome you to contact us at the school office (636.239-2590) or the parish office (636.239.6701).
Your partner in learning and faith,Mrs. Linda Pahl, Principal
