School Summary:
All Saints Academy was founded in 1966 as St. Paul's Episcopal Parish School under Father Gilbertson and Father Sturrup of Saint Paul's Episcopal Church. The school did not adopt its current name until 1993, when the middle and upper school portions of the facility were added, extending the grades serviced to grade twelve.

Mission: Inspiring independent thinkers, principled leaders, and humble learners.

Vision: All Saints Academy exemplifies Judeo-Christian values within an Episcopal tradition. We welcome students of all racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds striving to maximize each student's unique potential by instilling a sense of worth that comes with a purpose, direction, commitment, and success.

The Academic Skills Center Coordinator Overview:
The Academic Skills Center (ASC) Coordinator is an experienced educator that has experience working with students needing enrichment and support. The ASC Coordinator will support the academic progress and achievement of students in our K-12 school. The ASC Coordinator will partner teachers to help ensure that all students graduate each division as independent thinkers, principled leaders and humble learners. 

The ASC Coordinator uses a variety of research-based methods to share and practice with students, focusing on executive functioning skills, foundational and high-level academic skills, analytical thinking, writing and critical inquiry; the ASA Coordinator also assists students with diagnosed learning differences. The ASC Coordinator provides the staff of each division with professional development and facilitates a coaching model with faculty to support a “push-in” framework that allows for collaborative partnerships in support of all students’ learning experiences. The ASC Coordinator creates and maintains a K-12 process for monitoring and evaluating services provided to students in the Academic Skills Center and is expected to share data with the Head of School, Division Heads and teachers, where appropriate. The Coordinator works with small groups of middle and upper school students, provides coaching for K-12 teachers, Department Chairs (MS/US), and Grade Level Leads (LS) and partners with Division Heads to carry out the Center’s goals. The ASC Coordinator is also responsible for coordinating services for outside providers in the After-School Skills Center Program. 

Additionally, the ASC Coordinator facilitates individual and small group faculty workshops in and out of the classroom to model, partner, and support faculty to differentiate instruction for all students, integrate metacognitive strategies for learning, and design and practice student-centered learning approaches.
