Saints Make the Grade All Saints’ Lower School Program The All Saints’ Approach

The 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.

Lower School Program Overview

Literacy

Reading, writing process, genre studies, comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, ­­library skills

Daily 5

The Daily 5 creates a literacy structure conducive to learning for every child. Children will have the opportunity to receive whole group, small group, and individualized instruction based on their specific needs as a reader. Students in kindergarten through 2nd grade practice all five components every day: 1. Read to self 2. Read to someone 3. Work on writing 4. Listen to reading 5. Word work

Literacy CAFÉ

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 problemsolving 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.

Lower School Features CHAPEL SERVICES Lower School students attend daily morning prayer services four times each week and a Eucharist service every Friday. Students are the officiants and readers at all morning prayer services and serve as acolytes and readers at all Eucharist services.

CHARACTER AWARDS Students are recognized in Lower School chapel services on a regular basis for extraordinary acts of kindness, generosity, honesty, and other examples of exemplary character.

COMMUNITY SERVICE Each grade level in Lower School participates in a specific service project during the year. In addition, students may bring items for the school-wide monthly collections for various community organizations and participate in other school-wide service initiatives.

HONOR AWARDS Students in 4th-6th grades who earn all As or have an A average are recognized each grading period with the Head of School Award and Division Head Award, respectively.

LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Student Council – Students are elected as class representatives by their peers beginning in first grade. Officers are 4th-6th graders who are elected by the whole Lower School population.

Green Team – All interested 1st-6th grade students may participate in this group which focuses on environmental conservation issues.

LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM All Lower School grades participate in offcampus activities tied to the curriculum and designed to enhance their learning.

Fifth graders have the opportunity to travel to Williamsburg, Virginia, to experience Colonial history or to the Outdoor School in Junction for an outdoor education experience. All 6th grade students and teachers travel to Vicksburg, Mississippi, for three days to thoroughly explore the significant Civil War setting.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT All Saints’ is truly a family community. Lower School parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom, join their children for chapel services, lunch, and many other on-campus activities PERFORMANCES Every grade level is involved in performances throughout the school year. Some of the favorites include the Kindergarten Cinderella Ball, in which students sing opera and show off their ballroom dancing skills, the 5th grade Living History Museum, and the 6th grade major musical production of either “A Christmas Carol” or Frank Baum’s “Wizard of Oz.” RANGE: Research. Adventure. Nature.

Geology. Ecology.

Students explore the campus and beyond in activities on the RANGE – a unique 16-acre natural habitat on campus. They also tend to the Community Garden, cultivating and harvesting fresh vegetables that are donated to a local food pantry.

Fourth grade students experience an applied learning project called iPlot. Cooperative teams of students claim a plot of underdeveloped land following the rules of the All Saints’ Land Rush. The students write, research, observe, measure, analyze, graph, construct and plot data from their iPlots to track changes over time.

TECHNOLOGY No computer can replace the connection between teacher and student, but in All Saints’ Lower School we use technology to nurture curiosity, extend achievement, and support learning in a developmentally appropriate way. Teachers use SmartBoards to bring presentations to life and make the most of interactive learning and websites to organize and share student work. Our youngest children use SmartTables – interactive table computers to explore and create – while older students use GoogleDocs and Wikis to research, write and publish. All students use Everyday Math online, which includes lessons, projects, games and support.

Saints Measure Up All Saints’ Middle School Program The All Saints’ Approach

All Saints’ Episcopal Middle School of 7th and 8th grades provides a safe and comfortable place for students to grow in mind, body and spirit. Our focus on the history of Western Civilization allows students to appreciate the roots of their culture. Hands-on science classes provide the opportunity to create new knowledge. Religious studies, clubs, and community service offerings allow students to make friends and make a difference.

Middle School Features ADVISORY PROGRAM The goal of the Middle School advisory program is threefold: to equip students with the critical character qualities they need to be successful, to provide the opportunity for students to develop a trusting relationship with faculty members, and to foster an environment of mutual respect in the Middle School. The WiseSkills curriculum is used in advisory groups for character development.

WiseSkills focuses on using character themes like having a positive attitude and being respectful to help students develop wisdom, which is defined as, “making good choices for yourself and others.” Students meet once a week in small advisory groups for discussion of these themes. Guest speakers occasionally share with students how character has played a role in their careers.

CHAPEL SERVICES Middle School students attend daily prayer services four times each week and a Eucharist service every Wednesday.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES The Chili Cook-off and Bingo Night are popular traditions supported by the entire All Saints’ com­munity. The Middle School Student Council spon­sors two dances, a powder puff football game and an occasional movie night held on campus.

DEBATE TEAM Students meet during lunch to prepare for local debate competitions. Open to 7th and 8th graders.

LEADERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS WEB (Welcome Every Body) Student Council National Junior Honor Society SLAC (Student Leadership Advisory Committee) LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM The 8th grade class travels to Washington, DC, each fall to extend and enhance topics studied in the classroom.

The students visit significant national sites, including the U. S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Smithsonian and the monuments.

PROJECT EMPATHY Project Empathy is a community service project for the entire Middle School focusing on homelessness. The project is designed to help students truly empathize with the homeless and see that the students’ efforts make a difference in our community. Students research various homelessness issues and are provided opportunities to

serve the homeless and learn how to be advocates in the future. The project culminates with an overnight homeless simulation.

ROUNDTABLE In the Middle School, every student is invited to join all of his or her teachers for a “roundtable” discussion once or twice each year. In these meetings, faculty members share with students their observations about their positive qualities, specific areas in which they may improve, and goal-setting strategies. Students come away from the experience with the assurance that not only do their teachers know them as individuals, but that they truly care about their success.

SCHEDULE Middle School students are scheduled for seven different courses each semester. Three days each week (Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays), all seven classes meet for 45 minutes. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, classes are 80 minutes in length and spread over the two days. The weekly Eucharist service and Advisory period also take place on Wednesdays.

SPIRIT DAYS The Middle School, otherwise known as the “Kingdom of Fun,” takes advantage of the tight-knit community to celebrate each other. From Flip-Flop Fridays to game days, students have many opportunities to show their spirit.

TECHNOLOGY In the classroom, the Middle School faculty encourages the students to use iPads, laptops and other technology tools to support learning and express ideas. Many classrooms use SmartBoards, Clickers, Elmos and GoogleDocs as teaching aids. Our philosophy in the Middle School is to use technology in order to enhance the students’ natural curiosity and support their learning experience.

VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS Middle School students express their artistic flair in a variety of ways. Volunteers regularly play and sing for chapel, and artists showcase their talents in various events: • 24-Hour Play Festival • Middle School Musical • Advent Lessons and Carols • Drama and Music Sampler • Fine Arts Showcase • Percussion Bash

Saints Reach Their Goals All Saints’ Upper School Program The All Saints’ Approach The Upper School prepares students not only for success in college, but for success in an ever-changing global society. As a community of scholars, students study alongside faculty who are passionate about their subjects. Artists work with professionals who guide them in creative exploration, publishing and performance. With coaches who care about character as well as performance, athletes commit themselves to constant effort in the classroom and on the field. Through service and scholarship opportunities, students build responsibility and develop personal character. Students identify their “genius within” and prepare to share their gifts with the world.

Upper School Program Overview The Upper School program guides, prepares and challenges students to reach their goals. All Upper School students are expected to take seven classes and may elect to take a study hall or choose another course. Honors level classes are offered in all academic areas, and there are 14 AP courses offered. Graduation requirements are: English (4 Years) Fine Arts (2 Years) Foreign Language (through level III) History (3 Years) Math (4 Years) Religion (4 Semesters) Science (4 Years) U.S. Government (1 Year) Speech (1 Semester) Technology (1 Semester) Writing and Research (1 Semester) Students must also participate in athletics and complete 90 hours of community service in order to graduate from All Saints’. The Honors Classics Diploma, Honors Thesis Program and Senior Project extend learning, providing students opportunities to explore questions and form hypotheses.

HONORS CLASSICS DIPLOMA The Honors Classics Diploma program offers students the opportunity to complete advanced studies in the cultural and historical manifestations of the Greco-Roman world, the JudeoChristian tradition and the Classical legacy. Any student wishing to obtain an Honors Classics Diploma program will complete four years of Latin and at least three semesters of Classics-based electives. After successful completion, this distinction will be noted on the graduate’s high school transcript.

Be a Saint.

HONORS THESIS Through individual exploration, students develop and compose a thesis in their junior year and defend it in front of a panel of peers, faculty and administrators. Honors graduates are engaged learners in the classroom and in the community. Like the Honors Classics Diploma, this distinction will be noted on the graduate’s high school transcript after successful completion of the program.

SENIOR PROJECT The Senior Project provides students with the opportunity to engage in comprehensive investigations in fields of their choosing. Students may select from a variety of experiences including, but not limited to, internships, research and artistic performance or exhibit. Senior Projects are completed toward the end of the senior year.

Faculty advisors support students through weekly meetings and regular progress checks. Faculty advisors advocate for students throughout their time in the Upper School and assist college advisors in the application process.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES Traditions are rich at All Saints’, and Upper School students enjoy participating in a variety of activities that celebrate community, such as: Howdy Week, Homecoming Week, student-run Coffee in the Commons, Concerts in the Commons, Whiz Quiz and Ping Pong tournaments, Christmas caroling, musical performances in weekly Eucharist services, Junior Unity Day, Baccalaureate, Senior Robing and Commencement on the Burnett Great Lawn.

Small groups of students may form clubs of their choosing by securing the commitment of a faculty sponsor.

LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM Upper School students participate in local, regional, national and international educational travel experiences, including: Sydney, Australia, for student exchange programs with Barker College; Washington, DC, to participate in the Inauguration and experience aspects of government first-hand; New York City for a Fine Arts exploration of Broadway, museums and culture; Padre Island and Port Aransas with the AP Biology class to observe and research different habitats; Alaska for a wilderness experience; and Spain for a six-week study-abroad program in language and culture.

PHILANTHROPY PROJECT Seniors engage in an experiential project, in which they study community needs and participate in making philanthropic grants to local non-profit agencies.

RANGE: Research. Adventure. Nature. Geology. Ecology On a 16-acre natural area that includes a wetland, native grassland, garden and orchard, students learn in an outdoor classroom. This natural setting provides service opportunities, conservation awareness and enhancement of scientific instruction and writing experiences.

SCHEDULE In preparation for college, Upper School students rotate on a block schedule of four classes on one day and four different classes on the next. Students are expected to take seven

classes and may elect to take a study hall or choose another course for the 8th block.

TECHNOLOGY From SmartBoards and WikiSpaces to GoogleDocs and iPads, students and teachers use technology like they would a pencil—to support learning and express ideas. Upper School instructional practices support learners as they develop the skills necessary for the future through the access and utilization of technology in gathering, filtering and communicating information in order to positively engage the world.

Fine Arts

The Fine Arts program promotes creativity across the curriculum. Art, drama, dance and individual music students participate in the regional Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS) Fine Arts Festival and other local competitions. Students are required to take two years of Fine Arts and may also take these courses as electives.
