Whether you are raising a chess champion, a talented artist, a gifted athlete, the next Earhart or Einstein or just a great kid, All Saints’ will give your child a strong, well-rounded foundation for success.

Our Mission Statement means students strive for excellence in the classics, the sciences, the arts and athletics, and dedicated teachers challenge and support students as they discover passions, develop gifts, and prepare to make a difference in the world. Our nationally acclaimed religious studies curriculum encourages intellectual curiosity and spiritual reflection for all faiths, which makes the All Saints’ experience unique among private educational institutions in Fort Worth and beyond.

Saints Make the GradeAll Saints’ Lower School Program

Lower School Program OverviewReading, writing process, genre studies, comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, library skills

The Daily 5 creates a literacy structure conducive to learning for every child.

The CAFÉ system allows a teacher to make meaning of student assessment data. Teachers have individualized information on each child and can truly design instruction around each child’s specific needs.•  Comprehension – I understand what I read•  Accuracy – I can read the words•  Fluency – I can read accurately, with expression, and I understand what I read•  Expand Vocabulary – I know, find, and use interesting words Everyday Mathematics. Goals for mathematical practice: apply skills, explain and apply problem- solving approach, make sense of problems and persevere in solving them; reason abstractly and quantitatively; construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others; model with mathematics; use appropriate tools strategically; attend to precision; look for and make use of structure; look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

The All Saints’ ApproachThe Lower School educational model at All Saints’ is carefully designed and developmentally appropriate for all ages, kindergarten through 6th grade. The academic rigor of each grade level is supported by passionate teachers who challenge students to stretch and succeed. The 6th grade program is a well-defined balance of learning and leadership that uniquely prepares students for Middle School.

There are three classrooms per grade level in kindergarten through 6th grade. K-4th classrooms are self-contained; the core academic curriculum is the responsibility of every homeroom teacher. Fifth grade classes are departmentalized for mathematics, English, and science; history and reading are taught by each homeroom teacher. Sixth graders spend equal blocks of academic time in three areas: math/science; grammar/writing; history/literature.
