THE Magazine - Dallas / Forthworth

Over 50 years ago, a humble young priest had a vision: to create a traditional school for children in which their intellectual, moral and physical development would be kindled to celebrate their innate gifts from God. Today, Father Jim DeWolfe’s vision has been transformed into one of the most dynamic learning environments available. Beginning in 1951 as a preschool in the undercroft of All Saints’ Episcopal Church, the All Saints’ Episcopal School of today, situated on a 103-acre Cresson rock prairie campus in west Fort Worth, is one of the largest independent parish day schools in the country. While the face of the School has changed over the years, the core has remained the same. Our students attend selective colleges and universities, and they are incredibly talented scholars, musicians, athletes and artists. Our former students are highly successful priests, doctors, teachers, actors, lawyers, writers and business people. Some of them are current parents of All Saints’ students. Most important, each of them has learned the importance of following Christ’s model of making a positive difference in the lives of others and to use their God-given talents to the best of their ability. I am convinced that as you "surf" through our material you will discover that our comprehensive K-12 program contains highly successful, traditional elements while encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit in curricular and program development. Pay particular attention to our mission, for I believe it speaks volumes about the character and makeup of our being. For those who seek to slake their intellectual curiosity through rigorous academic training, have an appreciation for the aesthetic of the arts and a desire for physical development through healthy competition, here you will find a home. For those who recognize the importance of nurturing the soul, preparing for life’s challenges and giving thanks to God for our gifts, and learning to use them appropriately, we provide a sanctuary. For those who seek an educational setting that encourages lifelong learning, recognizing that we are children of God, values relationships and builds community, welcome to All Saints’ Episcopal School!
