Review №1

My daughters experience at All Souls is and continues to be a good one. At the elementary level, my daughter (fourths grade) is learning new material every day but she will soon be transitioning to fifth grade where I hear the schools Spanish program falls off. My only gripe (currently) with the schools disciplinary policies. My daughter has had a run in with another student multiple times where she did not feel like the school adequately handled the situation. Otherwise, I have had excellent experiences with the nurturing kind environment that the staff provides.

My family has been at All Souls World Language Catholic School for 4 years and I couldn’t be happier with the school. My oldest began in Kindergarten and my youngest is in his second year. Over the last 4 years we have seen this amazing school grow each year. Each year the school develops systems that accommodate the growth of the school. As parents we adjust to the new systems and work collaboratively with the school to improve them. In my 4 years at the school I have never encountered a situation where I have felt my kids were not in a safe environment. On the contrary, the school staff and administration have created a safe, loving and nurturing environment. I have worked in a local school district for the past 12 years and have worked with many principals. Ms. Carrie Fuller is among some of the best administrators I have known. Not only is she a hardworking principal that goes above and beyond for this school community, but she is also always willing to listen to parents and open to their feedback. All Souls is a loving community with a great group of staff and parents that are not only supportive but deeply engaged in creating a safe and academically rich place for students. Each morning the students engage in a morning prayer that stresses the importance of being respectful and kind. It is a place where children embrace diversity and work together to be build a better world. My children are flourishing in this dual immersion environment. My oldest is reading, speaking, and writing in Spanish. My youngest is already reading in Spanish in Kindergarten. As stated earlier, I can’t say enough great things about this school. Having our children at All Souls brings us peace of mind and great joy as parents.

All Souls is a special place for learning. Students are in a multicultural environment that provides dual language instruction. It is a truly unique Catholic school.

Our daughter is in her third year at All Souls and she loves it. She speaks Spanish and English fluently. More importantly however, she reads and writes in both languages at or above grade level and is truly becoming bi-literate. She is also learning Mandarin in the after school enrichment program, which is a great additional benefit.Principal Fuller is a talented and dedicated educator and has worked assiduously to create a loving and safe environment for our child and all those who attend the school. As this is a fairly new school, in its fourth year, we have been quite impressed with how much it has grown and continues to grow. Parents have a great deal of input into the schools development and the principal makes herself available to talk with each and every one of us.I would like to take a moment to address L. Huas comments in his review. His daughter attended our school for a total of 10 days. This was at the beginning of a school year with new staff, new students and new rules being implemented. The school grew by 1/3 in size from 100 to 150 students and things were understandably hectic.I do not doubt his veracity or anger at the situation he described; I was not there to witness it. However, I do take issue with his implication that Principal Fuller was only offering solutions simply to assuage our anger. Anyone who has had any dealing with Ms. Fuller knows how seriously she takes her responsibility to keep the children in her care safe.Currently, after drop off, all gates are closed and locked with only one secure entry into the school that is monitored from the front office. All parents who come in contact with the students at school, after they go to their classes, must attend VIRTUS training and be live scan fingerprinted. At the end of the school day, all children must be signed out from their afternoon classroom and only those on the parent approved list can pick them up.Personally, I feel very comfortable with my daughter at this school, and I cannot recommend it or Ms. Fuller more highly. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for my daughter and her friends at this school. She has six more years till she graduates, so it should be very exciting.
