Welcome to St. Francis Nursery and Primary Vocational School.
It brings me immense joy to see our dream of providing accessible, quality education to the young people of our community become a reality. Growing up in a rural area, I witnessed firsthand the steep financial obstacles that keep children from poor families out of the classroom. Today, rising school dropout rates driven largely by the inability to afford tuition continue to cut bright futures short. This pressing reality inspired the creation of St. Francis. Our school was founded to break that cycle by combining foundational academic learning with hands-on vocational training. By equipping our learners with practical, life-changing skills, we create real opportunities for them to grow, thrive, and achieve personal, spiritual, social, and economic transformation.
