What is the Franciscan approach to education?
The quest for knowledge was not to be an end in itself, but
a quest to live more authentically within oneself and morally
within the world community.
In the early nineteenth century, Franciscan Brothers in Ireland
began schools for poor and ordinary people. Following that
spirit, Brothers came to Brooklyn in 1858 to educate the large
numbers of immigrants arriving in America. Those Brothers
opened St. Francis Academy in 1859. The institution officially
became St. Francis College in 1884 when New York State
granted the school a charter.
Since opening its doors, the College has been committed to
the Franciscan tradition of service and development of the
whole person. Study of the liberal arts, combined with career
preparation in specific fields of study, remains a means of
following the quest for truth and personal authenticity. This
is the Franciscan Spirit that leads our students to take their
place in the world as ethical persons committed to nurturing
the Divine goodness within every human being and all that
God has created.
