St Frances Cabrini Academy

St. Frances Cabrini Academy is a Catholic elementary school that educates by nurturing the growth of each child's mind, body, and spirit. We celebrate our diversity while acting together to proclaim the Gospel. We commit ourselves to justice, the value of a quality education for all, and the vibrancy of the city of St. Louis. Mother St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the namesake of the school, was born in 1850 near Lodi, Italy. She established the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1880, which was expressly for charitable and religious work among the very poor.
