“Fontbonne is a smaller school, which makes it easier to have a voice in the classroom if you’re confused or need further guidance. The professors truly care about the students and seeing them succeed. They take advantage of the small classrooms to give students projects and opportunities they might not have in a big lecture hall-style school.”

Who you are is just as important as what you want to be. Inside and outside Fontbonne’s classrooms, you can grow as an individual, a teammate, a leader, a friend and a global citizen. Get inspired — like we do — by the values of our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.

“To me, ‘Learn more. Be more.’ means being the best version of yourself that you can be. An education is a powerful thing that will expand your horizons if you allow it, and I’ve found that keeping an open mind and staying curious may take you to places you never thought you would go.”

- Havanna deaf education major St. Louis, Mo.
