East Rapids

The teachers really care and are involved. Fun activities to help a child grow.

We moved to Cedar Rapids 13 years ago and didn't know where to enroll our young sons in our new community- All Saints was an easy choice for us after researching many schools in the area - the "feel" of the school was warm and kind and the preschool/faculty immediately made us feel welcome. We have been very happy with our two sons' preschool to 5th grade experience at All Saints due to the smaller class sizes, school community, leadership opportunities, additional STEM and computer science curriculum, and makerspace hands-on projects . The teachers have been great to work with- they are helping to get them ready for middle school and teaching them how to be kind, thoughtful, and caring individuals. All Saints has been a wonderful school for our children and we would recommend to anyone.

My highschooler was observed not paying attention in chapel. As a punishment he was denied lunch. When I tried to reach out to the principal he would not respond. This was not a one off. Their approach to discipline is punitive and shame based. The principal mostly avoids conflict, so cannot be relied on for help. This school is exceptionally terrible. If you want your kids to have a picture of God who is angry, punitive, shames, and is far off, send your kids here.

While a bit expensive, this is one of the best pre-schools I have ever seen. Our son was painfully shy in new environments, and his first few days of school were no exception. Over the last year, however, he has absolutely thrived. He loves school, and demonstrates confidence and a level of comfort with the teachers I had not thought he was capable of. While every teacher and employee I've met at this school was wonderful, my son's teacher Sophie (along with her assistant Kathryn) has been unbelievably charismatic, patient, enthusiastic, and kind with him. She is everything you would want in an educator of young children, and I consider myself and my son extremely lucky to have worked with her.
