We at St. Francis Xavier School understand it is a choice and investment to provide your student a Catholic education. Academic excellence, along with the reinforcement of Catholic faith and formation, a St. Francis Xavier education provides a foundation for personal success.  The decision to provide a student with these foundations also coincides with financial sacrifice. The Diocese of Cleveland is able to offer opportunities for tuition assistance to help ease family financial burdens for those that qualify.
