2024-2025 School Year

"From our first day at PFGA, the school community welcomed us like family. Olivia loves school and looks forward to coming. Our daughter, values her independence and her teacher, Mrs. Riesco, has formed a tight bond with her and has been instrumental in helping Olivia to adapt to routine and develop her self-awareness. We look forward to watching Olivia learn and blossom in the years ahead at PFGA."

"We chose PFGA in 2017 when our twins were in PreK. This has become our home. As a biracial family, we appreciate that PFGA welcomes and celebrates diversity not only in the curriculum, but also in the students, staff and families. The staff are incredibly bright and kind professionals who care deeply for our kids and investing in our community. The combination of academics, extracurricular activities, and values taught at PFGA are shaping the kids into well-rounded, conscientious humans."

"Our family has been a part of Pope Francis Global Academy since our son was in Kindergarten. Knowing that his school is truly a family is so amazing. The faculty and staff are second to none!"
"We absolutely love the school for its strong sense of community and the way it embraces every child with warmth and care. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, balancing academic learning with the development of important values.
We highly recommend PFGA to anyone looking for an exceptional start to their child's educational journey. Thank you for creating a nurturing environment where our child can thrive every day."

"We are beyond impressed with the combination of high academic standards and strong values at PFGA. From arts and literature to math, science, and history, the education is exceptional. Our children’s critical thinking skills have truly flourished, and we love how the teachers make learning engaging and fun. We are amazed that PFGA students get to perform with a professional orchestra each year and celebrate other cultures during awareness months."
"We love the Motivational Monday assemblies and how the school teaches values, recognizes and rewards good actions and acts of kindness. PFGA provides a very nurturing and supportive environment. We are very happy to be here. PFGA is a gem and my kids come home happy.”

“It’s hard to believe we’ll be starting our 10th year at PFGA this fall! We’re excited to see what our last year will have in store for our daughter Violet as we begin to think about her next steps. We’ve happily watched her thrive, both academically and spiritually, as a part of this community. We’ve made lifelong friends, formed strong relationships with the faculty and staff, and have memories to last a lifetime. We’re confident that the education and guidance she has received during her years at PFGA will greatly benefit her in her future endeavors. Proud to be part of the Pack!”

"This is our school. This is our family. Over 15 years, we have witnessed many changes. One constant through it all has been our teachers. The educators that have been a part of our children’s academic journey at St. Pascal/PFGA are here because they want to be here."
"The teachers are here because they truly care about their students. All have taught, encouraged and inspired both of our kids to excel academically and grow as individuals. Six years ago, our son was ready to enter St. Patrick High School for Freshman year, and our daughter is on track to do the same heading into her 8th grade year. PFGA rocks because we have the best families, teachers and staff continually helping and supporting one another to create a strong, caring community."

"We chose PFGA for our daughter in 2019 after two years in the Chicago Public Schools and have never looked back! We now have our two boys here as well, both since Kindergarten! Our daughter is in 7th grade, and our boys are in 4th and 2nd!"

"The teachers, administrators, and staff were absolutely amazing and welcomed us into the community with open arms! This school community feels like a family we were always meant to be a part of! We LOVE the Wolf Pack!"

…"At Pope Francis Academy, the dedicated staff go above and beyond to create an environment where every child feels valued and supported. Their commitment to nurturing both the mind and the spirit is evident in every lesson and activity. We've watched our children thrive, guided by teachers who not only educate but inspire.

The friendships we've formed here have been a true blessing. Our children have made lifelong friends, and we, as parents, have found a network of supportive and caring families. The sense of belonging and shared purpose is palpable, making Pope Francis Academy not just a school, but a second home.

Every year, we return with renewed enthusiasm, grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an enriching and welcoming community. Pope Francis Academy is more than just a place of learning; it is a place where values are lived, and where every member of the community is encouraged to grow and succeed."
