Assisi School

St. Francis of Assisi is a Catholic parochial school of the Diocese of Brooklyn for students in Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our school is associated with St. Francis of Assisi / St. Blaise Parish. The school, which opened in 1909, is staffed by the Sisters of Saint Joseph and dedicated lay educators. SFA is accredited by the Middle States A... ssociation of Colleges and Schools. We joyfully celebrated our 100th Anniversary in 2009. Our school is located in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn. The first school building, located on Maple Street, was constructed in 1909 and is now the Parish Center and Chapel. The current school building, located on Lincoln Road, was constructed in 1937. The building is well maintained with 15 classrooms, a technology lab, an art room, a library, 5 offices, two bookrooms, a faculty room and a large auditorium/gymnasium. Students represent all levels of ability, both academically and socially, and exhibit positive interpersonal relationships and care for one another. The school community strives to work together to nurture students who are cooperative, compassionate, kind-hearted, good-natured, respectful and responsible. St. Francis of Assisi School is deeply rooted in Christian values and emphasizes the role of the family in the school community. The school takes pride in its dedicated students, faculty and staff, and the degree of parent involvement. The administrators of our school are Sr. Theresa Scanlon, CSJ and Sr. Barbara Yander, CSJ.
