The Frances Xavier Warde School (FXW) was founded in 1989 with a vision to develop a rigorous academic Catholic school that would embrace all religions and build on the multi-layered diversity of Chicago—ethnic, racial, religious, and socioeconomic. As FXW has evolved, these ideals solidified into our Charisms.
Our Charisms FAITH A Community of faith that welcomes and embraces all faith traditions DIVERSITY & INCLUSION A Community that is purposefully diverse and intentionally inclusive
