SFDS Admissions Policy
The basic purpose of St. Francis de Sales School is to assure that Catholic truths and values are fully integrated with the student's life and academic program.
Students should not
apply
unless they
desire
and
intend
to
participate fully in
the
religious programs
of
the
school. Admissions to SFDS are based on the results of an entrance exam (grades 1 to 8) or readiness assessment interview (kindergarten), report cards, and teacher recommendations. First consideration for admission is given to St. Francis de Sales parishioners and existing members of the school community.
