Educating students since 1838, Borgia is a place rich in tradition and heavily invested in faith and family. Ours is a nurturing, supportive environment that thrives from the contributions of its members. With the help of faculty, staff, and parents, SFBGS is a place where children grow as students in God’s love. Borgia is a co-educational Catholic grade school that begins with preschool and continues through eighth grade. With several options for preschoolers and a full-day Kindergarten, our students embark on an academic journey that affords them the security of a familiar community during their formative years built on a firm foundation.
Our faculty is committed to providing the highest quality Catholic education for each student. Combining deep-rooted traditions and current best practices, we are dedicated to equipping children with the tools necessary to be successful in the 21st century. The result produces individuals who are responsible, life-long learners, effective communicators, and problem solvers.
