“My teachers are really helpful when it comes to balancing my gymnastics and schooling schedule, and they are very supportive of my passion and help me to make sure I stay on top of my studies if there are any lessons I need to catch up on.”
— Adelaide Hooper, General Excellence Scholarship recipient
“One of the things I believe makes the experience at All Saints unmatched is that numerous music teachers are practicing musicians and perform in ensembles themselves. This is not only inspiring, but I’ve found it very helpful as I’m learning from someone with similar experiences and understandings. I can really relate to my teachers.”
— Ryo Takamizawa, Music Scholarship recipient
