I have been researching private schools in the Winter Haven area and saw All Saints Academy. I read the couple of reviews from parents but they were dated and very mixed.

I would like a school that has a tie to religious background, has good teachers and administrators as well as activities for the kids to engage in.

I anyone has had any experience with or knows of someone that has had experiences with this school please give your opinions good or bad, they will be appreciated.

My mom is considering a move to this area and has adopted children that will attend so we want to make sure it would be a good fit.

Thanks for your opinions!

We have several family members who had children go to the lower and upper schools. My neighbor's children attend. Like all schools, there can be some cons... always a few bad apples. Two years ago, a teem there started a secret 'Wican' club. Don't know if the school ever found out. It didn't get a lot of members and fizzeled out. I'm friends with many public school teachers and they told me that it goes on in public schools, too, only more so.


Another school to look into is Grace Luthern Academy Grace Lutheran School - Winter Haven, Florida - FL - School overview
Several of our neighborhood children have been going there for years.

Grace is located downtown Winter Haven. All Saints is located NW Winter Haven. The kids in our neighborhood would ride the transportation van from Gold's Gym parking lot, located near Cypress Gardens to All Saints, as we are far east near HWY 27 in a gated golf community.... long drive.

If you need more information, I'll talk to my neices and nephews about their experiences . Good luck! Kaci

Carefully consider this school........ VERY cliquey, VERY stand off to new students, if you child is like "everyone" your child will have a VERY lonesome school experience. You'll find that the same students win the awards, get the honors, and make the teams. Our experience was terrible, and administration seems only to listen to parents that have money to donate. Chose another school!
