School Notes

  • All Saints Catholic School Blends Progressive Academics in a Faith-Centered EnvironmentAll Saints Catholic School, the diocesan regional elementary school in Wilmington, Delaware, has successfully transformed to a school blending the vision of a STEM education while remaining true to its faith-based roots. The school, now entering its sixth year serving five parish communities, has built upon its Science, Technology, Engineering and Math foundation with additional emphasis on religion and the arts.Under the direction of Principal Dr. Mary Elizabeth Muir, ASCS has enhanced its science offerings through a robotics class, where students have hands-on experience with various types of robots and gain an understanding of both the engineering inside of them, as well as theirresponsibleuse in our daily lives andhow they help to peacefully problem solve the complex challenges of our world. "Today`s students are so at ease with technology," said Dr. Muir. "We want to continue to expose them to not just the science of today, but the technology that will stimulate their minds and their creativity throughout their entire lives."As a faith community, school days are encircled in prayer and students regularly celebrate the sacraments. Additionally,emphasis is placed on art, music, and physical education as a means of developing the whole child. Through the initiative of the ASCS Home and School Association, the entire student population participates in a Service-A-Thon in October during which every student provided service to the school, parishioners, and the local ommunity. This event represented approximately 500 hours of service. Each month students also participate in a "Living Our Faith" service program with their families providing age appropriate forms of service with and to their families and communities.Students can participate in a wide variety of academic competitions, clubs and special events. Every day at All Saints, students can be found studying for Math League competitions, preparing for Science Olympiad events, rehearsing for the school play, or reading a speech for the Declamation competition. "I am amazed every day at the wide variety of activities in which our students participate, said Dr. Muir. "Whether it is academic activities, athletics, or service events, the school is a vibrant reflection of the interests of our students."The Mission Statement of ASCS reads "While modeling Gospel values, the school incorporates a STEM approach to teaching and learning in order to prepare its population for the challenges of a global society." All Saints Catholic School has succeeded in delivering on that promise, and is poised to continue providing the educational and faith-centered foundation that students will need to succeed throughout their lives.
