Research All Sts. Catholic School private Schools in Manassas, Virginia

“My children have been attending this school now for 2 years. I have been nothing but pleased. My children attended K in the local public school, but the principal and staff made it very difficult to communicate. At All Saints, it has been so easy to get in touch with the teachers, staff members, and even the principal. My children are receiving an excellent foundation in their religion as well as their core curriculum. The school has several wonderful programs that keep the students engaged.”

“Our child finds it easier to focus on academics in this environment than when in public school. The school strongly supports our beliefs and role as Catholic parents. There are enough extra-curricular activities and clubs for our child to have a choice. The before/after school program has great leadership and our child loves it, wanting to spend at least an hour there before heading home. The principals door is always open and he makes sure a response is given to calls/e-mails. He greets the children every morning and has lunch in the cafeteria with the classes. Virtus training to identify and prevent abuse are required for all staff, along with annual re-certification. JR, parent”

“We are a military family that has been embraced by All Saints. The academics and parent involvement are superb! The principal has excellent communication skills and a sincere interest in ensuring the children are successful. High Terra Novas. Accelerated classes are the norm not the exception. Award winning band, chess club, sports. For a Catholic school, the extracurricular activities, the service opportunities, and the 'extras' that make a community great make this school worth every dime. Also has a very strong Catholic identity.”

“I have two children attending All Saints and have been involved with the school for the past 5 years. The faculty and staff are incredibly commited to the mission of the school: Catholic education, high standards of excellence and personal responsibility. The turnover of the teachers in the past five years has been minimal; most because of family moves and change or medical conditions. The principal, Mr. Conroy, is does a good job of juggling the many aspects of manging the school, focusing on circulum and supporting the teachers, and provding a safe environment. Walking through the halls of the school is an experience in discipline with respect. The school does have limited resources for special needs, so a parent needs to recognize that the school may not be a good match for all children.”

“We have two children attending All Saints and are very happy with the school and the education they are receiving. I would like to respond to prior comments made. The principal may put a positive spin on things but this is his job. Principals not only run a school they need to remain optimistic when handling tough situations. As for LD or children that need additional assistance. I know of several teachers that go out of their way to make themselves available after hours for the children needing extra help. Additionally, Catholic Schools do not have the same funding public schools have. Recently the paper published the educational expense per student in several counties. All Saints does not receive nearly that amount per student even when you include parish and diocese contributions. With the schools limited financial resources it is not able to provide fully for special needs children.”

“I have two children who attend All Saints School. The faculty and staff are terrific and especially the principal. They are strong academically but they could strengthen their program with students with learning disabilities.”

“I attended All Saints from 5th through 8th grade, and found the education to be a pleasant experience. The teachers are more than willing to help you educationally, but the lack of discipline and patience with LD students is appaling.”

“All Saints currently has a preK program which is excellent. The program educates and nurtures the whole child. There is excellent communication between the teachers and parents. The parents are kept informed regarding the children's progress. My only complaint is with the middle school program. Discipline is often geared toward the whole grade and not the individual. The math program needs to be strenthened and assistance given to help children who are having difficulty. Also there is a high teacher turnover rate. The principal often gives every concern or issue a positive spin.”
