St. Francis de Sales (SFDS) - Abingdon, Maryland

Mission Statement

Our goal is to provide a lovings, caring, safe environment in a faith community where each child can explore and learn about their world though visual, auditory, tactile, and other sensory modes.  We will encourage each child to become life-long learners and good citizens by teaching Christian values, social skills, and the love of learning.  We will strive to promote the sound emotional, spirtual, social intellectual, and physical growth of each child.  Our goal is to ensure that all children start school ready to learn by providing them with authentic learning experiences and a strong foundation for learning.
