When we were investigating schools for our sons and family, we took this decision very seriously, interviewing nine private schools in our area. We then narrowed it down to two and re-interviewed each school. It was clear from the beginning that All Saints was the right school for us, but we stuck to the process to make sure that it was the best and final decision.
All Saints has what we consider to be the highest of education, safest staff and building and resources available for students. It has small class sizes, which we wanted so that our children have the attention to detail that is needed to succeed. We absolutely fell in love with faculty, staff and administration as soon as we were welcomed into the school.
Walking in the door that first day we immediately felt like family and a part of this wonderful school. It was such a pleasure finding out more about All Saints on our tour, especially information about all of the programs it has to offer, and in particular, those important insights you need as a parent when deciding on where to send your children.
There is one thing that really stood out when we were touring the school. Every time an administrative staff member walked by students in the hallway - the respect shown to each of them from one another made my husband and I speechless. We witnessed time after time, children and adults acknowledging one another by saying each other’s names in addition to a salutation. I know, small detail, right? But I have never seen this when touring any other school. The staff knows every single student’s name (first and last), their sibling(s), and their parents’ names. The attention to detail at All Saints I have found is unmatched by any other.
Our two boys never want to miss school. They cannot wait to see their teachers and friends. We have had the pleasure of having four teachers so far, when I say these teachers treat their students like their own, they really do. As a mother of four- and six-year-old boys, it puts my heart at ease to know my children adore their teachers. I know that they are in the best hands while away from home. All Saints is such a lovely small community that really feels like home.
By choosing All Saints, we know that our boys will get the foundation they need to start them on the path for success in their lives. This includes developing a love of learning with great educators, practicing respect for themselves and others, becoming confident in the love of God and what the Bible (the inspired word of God) will reveal to them, and doing it all with a diverse group of children that opens their eyes to the beauty and dignity of others as beloved children of God.
We could not be more excited each and every day that we decided to go private and send our children to ASCA. The whole school really becomes your family.
