Liber Community School

My children attended All Saints, beginning in 4th and 6th grade. Before that, we attended East Avenue Elementary School. There was nothing wrong with public school, but we wanted more for our children as they grew into young adults.Each family views and values education differently, and in our case- my father instilled in me that “education is something that no one can take away from you.” Therefore, we value a holistic and realistic education that provides many opportunities. How children perform and function in school is the sum of familial values and school environment. All Saints Catholic School complemented our familial values based on the following:1. Spiritual, religious, and moral compass: Opportunities to develop faith formation simultaneously with the curriculum. Opportunities for us as a family to discuss current world events in a particular context and offer positive coping skills.2. Academic rigor: Low classroom counts, better teacher-to-parent relationships, opportunities for science camps and science fairs.3. School/parent environment/ sports: The administration is dedicated to the learning and safety of the children. When public schools were still distance learning, this institution had protocols for early in-classroom teaching (a lifesaver for me as I was on the frontlines in the ICU). Social events that are both wholesome, fun, and spiritual- Fiesta, Crab Feed, Fun Run, school dances, etc. They have a well-established CYO program with dedicated and league/diocese-winning coaches.4. Kids Klub: after-school caregiving for those who require extended care.5. Robust choir/ music program with a dedicated choir/ music director.6. Safety of the campusMy child is nearing graduating from All Saints and will soon transition to high school. My eldest was offered a generous scholarship at a prestigious private high school in Oakland but chose to attend a distinguished private high school in Hayward. Both were blessings and opportunities that I believe would not have been available to us if we had not chosen All Saints Catholic School. Many of our fondest memories originate with activities and events sponsored by All Saints and the Oakland Diocese. I highly recommend All Saints Catholic School- and if you’d like to know more— find out yourself!
