Extended School

Welcome to SFA Extended School Program (ESP)

The St. Francis Extended School Program is a service provided to the parents of St. Francis Elementary and Middle School families in response to the need for before-school and after-school child care.

The Extended School Program is designed to complement the school curriculum by providing children with a supportive and Christian environment for constructive and creative out-of-school time. Students look forward to spending time with their classmates in a relaxed atmosphere where they can participate in structured and non-structured recreational activities.
