Earn Up to $400 in Tuition Credit

Posted on by Janis DeVore

Many of our applicants initially hear about All Saints through a personal referral from a school family.  With this in mind, 11 years ago All Saints started a New Student Referral Program, through which current families receive a tuition credit of $200 for referring a new family to our school.  We are happy to announce that All Saints has given out $33,100 in tuition credits since starting the program in 2008.

Registration for new families for the 2020-2021 school year begins on November 15.  Now is a great time to spread the word about All Saints and to invite family and friends to visit our campus.

  • Open Houses:  November 14, January 9, and February 6 beginning at 9:00 AM.
  • Wednesday Walkthroughs:  9:00 AM and 1:30 PM every Wednesday
  • For general inquires or to schedule a tour, please contact admissions@allsaintsva.org or by phone at 703-393-1490

Next year your family could be one of the families to receive a tuition credit.  For more information about the program, please see the New Student Referral Program Form.

Thank you for choosing All Saints for your family and for sharing the good news of Catholic education!

Video: With God All Things Are Possible

Posted on by Janis DeVore

All Saints 2019-2020 School Year Theme:
Inspired by a passage from Scripture (Matthew 19:26) in which Jesus tells His disciples that for God everything is possible, our theme will serve as a reminder that our Salvation is a work of grace wholly dependent upon the love of God.  It is a reminder that our faith is the greatest gift that we have received and one that we live and share within our school community.

Additionally, the theme will provide a source of daily inspiration for our students as they strive to not only “do their best” in all that they pursue, but more importantly to “be their best” in responding to God’s call in their lives.

School Assembly: With God All Things Are Possible

See our VideoChat page for a video of Mr. Conroy introducing the school theme during a special assembly and offering two challenges for our students to complete to start off the school year.
