St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School
Whitehorse, YT
Our commitment to Catholic education is focused on ensuring that the inherent goodness and dignity of each person is recognized, maintained and nurtured as we help our students develop intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, morally, and spiritually.
Every staff member and student in our school community is on a journey of faith and we hope to help all grow closer to God. We strive to help all individuals learn to fully inform their consciences to make the best decisions in an often complex and confusing world.
Finally, we hope that everyone in our school community can look beyond themselves, especially in the way that Jesus commanded us to, “Love one another, as I have loved you” when dealing with other individuals – especially those who are marginalized or who seek justice within our school, our community, our country, and our world.
