We LOVE All Saints'. My two children have had a truly fantastic experience thus far. The schools motto is, 'Smart kids with soul' and we have found this to be the perfect description. The teachers are incredible and the academics are challenging, and it pays off for the kids. The tuition price tag

Our two daughters have attended since kindergarten and are now in 7th and 5th grade. They have thrived here , being challenged intellectually, developing artistically, and learning about service and giving back. The parent community is amazing being comprised not only of successful people but parents

Read more who devote time to their kids and school to make it succeed.Driving this is the Episopalian ethos which welcomes all faiths, fosters acceptance of diversity, and insists on the the centrality of religion and morality. Especially in the upper grades there is an emphasis on community service including St Mary's Food Bank, Andre House to serve meals to the homeless, and a carnival for the United Methodist Outreach Ministry- an apartment complpex for the temporarily homeless---just to name a few that my daughter has served. There is a broad sports and arts program. But mostly it is about a community . Read less

I learned in first grade what All Saint s is all about. My child came home sharing that he was nervous about a musical performance. I emailed the music teacher to let her know. That afternoon I asked if he was still nervous. He explained that Mrs. Humpage told him he had butterflies and that

The question is not if your child will benefit from an ASEDS education but more for parents. If you need your child in an environment where they breeze through, always receive an A and are able to complete homework during class this may not be the right place. However, if you believe that greatness requires hard work and is sometimes even a bit uncomfortable than I would take a look at ASEDS. Read less

We have been very happy at this school. My two children enjoy the school. They are happy to go each day. We have been there two years and have not found the homework overwhelming by any means. The tuition is a bit expensive, but not as much as some of the other private schools in Phoenix. I have
... Read more found the teachers to be very involved with the children (15 or less in each class). The children are encouraged to value each other's differences. The school has a fairly diverse population. Because it is an Episcopal School, it is very accepting of other religions, races and lifestyles. I think this is the best part about the place! They are very involved with outreach and have projects for helping others throughout the school year. Many times, I hear that All Saints' graduates are the best prepared for high school. Read less

My child is in her fourth year at the School. The arts & music programs are outstanding! Each year there is a special event that showcases the fine arts department. Each child's art is displayed and each grade level performs a musical number that demonstrates what they are learning in music class

In the spring, grades 1-6 each have a musical where every child has a speaking part, and either a solo or part of an ensemble. The other 'specials' - science, computers, religion, library, Spanish, and PE are excellent. I like the small class sizes (16 students per section). Very involved parents group. Good community to be a part of. Strong academics. Could be more diverse (economically and ethnic/racially). Read less

Without a doubt, the students are, as a group, much brighter than average kids, which makes the school a better choice for gifted students. But at All Saints', with giftedness comes an overweening sense of entitlement, and, unfortunately, not much of a sense of obligation to give back. (Just look
... Read more at the July 27th poster's arrogation of the 'track to endless success' resulting from his spending a four years at the school!) About a third of the teachers are excellent--the best in Phoenix. The rest are super-annuated and should retire. Generally, with a very few exceptions, teachers make no apparent effort to impress upon their students the teaching of St. Paul that 'of whom much is given, much is expected.' Nor do they teach, as Jesus did, that 'the last shall be first.' To the contrary, aggressive self-service is, de facto, the All Saints' Way. Read less

As a response to the post of July 17, i respectfully disagree. I've found the teachers to be very creative and helpful in addressing discipline issues, and seek solutions that address the root cause of acting out, rather than senseless punishments. The small class sizes allow teachers to provide individual

I graduated from All Saints' this past spring. All Saints' provided me a strong foundation from which I know I will build on as I receive the best education. All Saints' taught me so much as a student. I know for a fact that I would not be on this track to endless success if I had not been educated

I started my journey at All Saints' in the fifth grade, which is an excellent place to begin. Each class was structured to fit each student's needs.

I couldn't agree more with the post submitted on July 11, 2007. The teaching methods are archaic and they are especially severe with 5 and 6 year old boys. The teachers run the school and they prefer to have older boys entering so they do not have to deal with anyone who doesn't want to sit in their

If your young child is academically advanced or gifted (and this is hard to tell as you are just entering school) this is not the place for them as they will be bored with the routine and bristle at the constant discipline for such 'major' infractions as not sitting still in circle or whispering in chapel. The administration's philosphy is 'get on board or go elsewhere.' Read less
