Academic Resources

Tools, Spaces and Support for Inspired Learning

IN THIS SECTION

At Saint Francis, we equip students with the skills, tools and spaces they need to learn, create, research and advocate.

Our innovative lab spaces foster hands-on discovery and collaboration, while dedicated academic support spaces ensure that every student can thrive. With expert research guidance, writing support, and mentorship from our instructional librarians, students develop the skills to think critically, communicate persuasively and engage meaningfully with the world around them. We provide a supportive learning environment where students can thrive.

Cassin Family Library

 

Students browsing books in a library, focused on their selections and surrounded by shelves of literature.

The Cassin Family Library supports the instructional philosophy and curricular goals of the school by educating students to become effective users of information who express Holy Cross values.

 

Our students will be equipped to find, evaluate, organize, use, and communicate information in its various formats in order to become effective lifelong learners able to independently problem solve and make decisions. Our students will recognize their individual experience while empathizing with the lives of people with different cultures and identities as reflected through works in the collection, library programs and instructional support.
