All Saints Catholic Schools

Scott County Catholic Schools have been a proud part of the Iowa landscape since St. Margaret's School was established on the campus of Davenport's Sacred Heart Cathedral in 1859.

Much has changed since then, however, many things remain the same, including a dedication toward developing the whole child - mind, body and soul. Built on the legacy of generations of students and families, Scott County Catholic Schools embrace the very best standards of Catholic education in the 21st century. Our schools encourage students to open their hearts to the Lord, their minds to learning, and their talents toward service to others.

Scott County Catholic operates five interdependent schools: four elementary schools serving students in preschool through 8th grades, and one secondary school serving students in 9th through 12th grades.

Families who feel a Catholic school education may be beyond their reach are encouraged to apply for tuition assistance through the Family Tuition Plan. Applications are evaluated based on family size and income as they align against the backdrop of total tuition requirement.

A single application may be completed for the entire family - including students attending both elementary and secondary Catholic schools in Scott County. The application is available at AssumptionHigh.org.

A significant portion of the Family Tuition Plan is funded by the Mississippi Valley STO, a grant program made possible by Iowa's Educational Opportunities Act. Need that surpasses MVSTO funding is provided by generous donors. To learn more about how your gift to the MVSTO could qualify for a 65% Iowa Tax Credit, go to mvsto.org.

All Saints Catholic School community shares a common goal of preparing children for lifelong learning and Christian service. We are committed to nurturing each child's spiritual, intellectual, social, moral, emotional and physical development. All are encouraged to utilize their God-given gifts in an atmosphere that challenges them to strive for their unique potential.

All Saints Catholic School, located on the campus of Holy Family Parish, is a shared mission of five Catholic parishes: Holy Family, Sacred Heart Cathedral, St. Alphonsus, St. Mary's, and St. Anthony's. This unique educational partnership values knowledge, excellence, persistence, love and service. Each and every day, students engage in an intimate experience with the nuts and bolts of school life, and faculty and staff go above and beyond to ensure that Gospel values permeate every aspect of the school experience.

At All Saints, instruction is guided by a very experienced team of teachers continually searching for new ways to insure that each student in our diverse learning community learns at a rate commensurate with their abilities.

All Saints is honored to be one of only two Catholic Schools in Iowa to be linked on a national level with the Latino Enrollment Institute at the University of Notre Dame. All Saints earned this honor in light of its ongoing increase in Latino enrollment. All Saints is family bound by faith, where all students, parents, and staff are valued.

Fueled by nearly 40% growth in enrollment over the last ten years, JFK is one of the largest PS-8th grade Catholic schools in the Diocese of Davenport. With enrollment records in daycare as well, the $4.4 million investment in school and parish additions and improvements since 2011 are being well utilized.

Acting as an extension of the family, staff members challenge students to realize and reach their true potential both academically and spiritually. Religion is not reserved for special occasions; faith is thoroughly integrated into daily routines as a part of our school’s identity. Students participate in multiple daily prayers, weekly all school Masses, Adoration and Reconciliation, religion classes, and monthly service activities.

With a 1:1 student to computer ratio in grades 5-8 and computers and tablets in each classroom at other grade levels, JFK students make regular use of technology, for research, composition, practice, and presentation. A whole new wireless network was installed in the summer of 2016 to meet the technology demands of the future.

State accredited and established in 1919, Lourdes has a long commitment to excellence in faith-based education. Enjoying an average class size of 18, all Lourdes teachers are fully credentialed by the State of Iowa, and most hold multiple subject endorsements. Lourdes also employs a special education teacher to serve students with Level 1 individualized educational plans. As one parent said, "At Lourdes, we've found teachers who create individualized learning experience plans for every child, no matter their learning style. The teachers truly care about the kids."

Students consistently score above local, state, and national averages on the Iowa Assessment Tests. Spanish instruction starts in kindergarten, and Lourdes grads are typically placed in Spanish II in high school. Classrooms are equipped with Smartboards, iPads, document cameras, and student laptops, and the recently updated technology lab provides a classroom setting for lessons in coding, keyboarding, digital movie making, and more.

St. Paul the Apostle School strives to develop the whole child by instilling the values of faith, community, and life-long learning. Students are called to give back to God and His people by using the talents and gifts which God has bestowed. Our goal is for students to possess knowledge and understanding of Catholic teachings and gospel values - informing action through service to others.

Discipleship, stewardship, and family are hallmarks of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School. Our dedicated faculty and staff seek to help students by providing quality learning environment and supporting high student expectations. Frequent opportunities for family involvement contribute to the ongoing success of each student, and serve to emulate relationships that honor Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the original Holy Family.

At St. Paul the Apostle School, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as effective listening and speaking styles. Students have regular access to the types of technology that bring value to the learning process.

In September 2011, St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School was designated as a National Blue Ribbon School based on academic achievement. This level of academic excellence is the result of a partnership between parents, students, teachers and the larger parish community.

Assumption challenges each student to reach their academic potential in preparation for life beyond high school. Students develop critical thinking skills and learn to reason scientifically, mathematically, and historically. Above all, students are encouraged to become faith-based, self-directed, life-long learners.

The majority of AHS teachers have advanced degrees in education or their instructional content area. This allows our course offerings include ten AP courses and 64 college credits - all offered on the Assumption campus at no additional cost! A learning resource center is also available for students in need of additional academic support.

Each Assumption student is provided a laptop, allowing students to obtain instant access to real-time information and real-world skills. Teachers regularly incorporate technology into their lessons and classroom activities, and students have access to their laptops both in the classroom and at home.

In addition, every Assumption student participates in a seminar course each semester. This technology-based experience is a powerful tool that prepares students for the variety of learning and communication experiences of college and career. Assumption is proud to be the first high school in the area to offer a computer programming and game design course.
