My daughter Caroline attended All Saints for 2 years in 7th and 8th grade(s). She graduated from Portsmouth HS. She is an electrical engineering major/computer science major at the University of Vermont. I was prompted to think of you at All Saints when I paid for her “linear algebra” book, and she laughed and told me in the class of 40 she is the only girl. I feel this tremendous skill and aptitude for technology, her love of math, and her enjoyment of complex projects are directly related to the foundation she received in these disciplines at All Saints. We all reflect on that Space project you did and how she learned to program there. She was given responsibility and confidence and Mrs. Villareal met her where she was and I believe played a major role in shaping her life.

All Saints left me with many special memories and lessons learned. The dedicated teachers taught me how to be independent and to believe in myself. In the classroom, they encouraged questions which allowed me to think deeper about novels, science concepts, and math equations. Outside of the classroom, I learned the value of community through Christmas Angels and Breakfast with the Bunny. Happy 50th ASA!

We want to thank Ms. Dawn and ASA for their amazing approach to teaching religion to our son. We were curious about how to bring religion into his life and thinking if some topics were too serious for a 5-year-old. But you have shown us that he can handle so much more than we thought! He loved learning about the Bible with all the stories and lessons. Thank you for helping us bring religion into our child’s life.

My daughter is in PreK with Miss Dawn and Miss Laura and both my husband and I feel so blessed to have found All Saints where our daughter is thriving. Miss Dawn is so wonderful and provides her students with a strong start on their learning journey, as well as an incredibly positive learning environment where children feel comfortable exploring, learning, and making mistakes. I’ve been able to listen to my daughter learn via Zoom while she was home following COVID protocols and I am so impressed at what the students learn each and every day. They go above and beyond for each and every one of their students. Our daughter loves going to school every day and really enjoys her time in class. They have been amazing with following COVID guidelines and ensuring a safe and healthy learning environment for the students. I am blown away by how much growth I’ve seen in my daughter and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Miss Dawn, Miss Laura, and All Saints!
Thank you for all that you do!

All Saints STEAM Academy is an absolute gem of a school! We are a military family and feel so blessed to have discovered this amazing school. The transition to their new school this year was smooth and flawless for our kids. We love the small student-teacher ratio at ASA, the outstanding communication between school and home, and the positive, safe, and nurturing environment based on authentic Catholic values. My son and daughter have flourished academically, socially, and spiritually in Pre-K and 1st. Immersion into this fantastic faith-based school culture, where religious themes are woven throughout, has assisted us in making God a consistent presence and force in their hearts. The teachers and staff are dedicated and passionate about creating a high-quality education for the students and regard their work as a calling. The teachers truly love and care for each student as individuals. We love being a part of the ASA family, truly a little school with a big heart and a wonderful place to learn, grow and be part of a faith community

We are a family of six that has been lucky enough to be a part of the ASA family for three years now. Our daughter started in 4th grade at All Saints and she has absolutely loved it. We saw a new love for learning in her and an excitement to go to school every day. She has learned so much about computers and technology in her few years at ASA - we are constantly in awe of her progress! She has enjoyed cross country, living History night, science projects, Christmas pageants, and more while attending All Saints, and we have enjoyed watching her succeed in each new endeavor. Our son started at ASA in the Preschool program last year with Miss Teri and had the most transformative year. He really thrived under the structure of a classroom and LOVES to learn! ASA was very accommodating with his speech therapy, making sure it was a priority each week. He is now in Miss Dawn's PreK program and is learning so much! He loves school and I know All Saints and his teachers have so much to do with that. Our youngest son started preschool this year and loves being a part of the ASA family and seeing his older siblings at school. He loves to bring home all of his artwork and let us know what letter he is learning this week. He shows us his yoga moves and sings his "God is great" prayer that he learned at school before each meal at home. It is wonderful seeing the excitement he feels when he shares something new he learned at school. All Saints has really given us a home these past few years living in Rhode Island. As a military family, it can be difficult moving to a new place, but we felt immediately welcomed and embraced at All Saints Academy. We have watched our children grow in love, faith, and learning these past few years and we are so very thankful for that. We are so grateful that we chose All Saints STEAM Academy for our kids.

I just wanted to send you and the staff at All Saints a big BRAVO and thank you for your preparedness during this time of social distancing. Your amazing teachers were prepared and organized ahead of time and it’s made all the difference. Every day we have received a check in email from the teachers to see how the are progressing on their packets and work. They have also provided additional ideas, videos and worksheets along the way to add to their learning experience. Our son has enjoyed the online classroom teaching with the middle school teachers. It’s nice that he can stay connected to the students and professors during this unusual time in our world. I’m so grateful.
It has been a smooth transition from at school learning to at home learning for our family and we can’t thank you enough. I’m sure you all are working out some kinks and whatnot behind the scenes, but I want you to know that your staffs hard work and commitment to keeping the kids on track truly shows. Thank you so much.
Bravo to you all!!
God Bless
