About Us:
All Saints’ Episcopal Day School offers an education that combines academic excellence with an inclusive religious foundation that emphasizes love and respect. Since 1963, All Saints' students have been encouraged to realize their highest potential as lifelong learners, artists, athletes and leaders of the future. We are a community which strives to create an academic, social and spiritual climate where people learn, work and play together with respect, responsibility and understanding.

All Saints' Episcopal Day School welcomes all faiths. Students receive religion and life skills instruction taught from a Christian-Judeo perspective; however, all religious traditions are honored and students from other faiths are encouraged to share their beliefs, holidays and traditions with their classmates. The All Saints' school community is 20 percent Episcopal - similar to Episcopal schools nationwide which are generally 20 to 25 percent Episcopal.

The mission of All Saints’ Episcopal Day School is to educate children in the light of God – mind, body and soul – in a nurturing community. We combine academic excellence with spiritual and moral formation, preparing students to lead fruitful lives and to serve a world in need.

Our Philosophy:
All Saints’ Episcopal Day School believes that intellectual, spiritual and ethical growth, cultural appreciation and social and physical development are enhanced in a nurturing atmosphere which provides attention to the student as an individual. The independent private school believes that the learning process is a discipline in itself which develops attitudes of responsibility, cooperation and independence.

Episcopal schools are Christian communities whose missions integrate spiritual formation into all aspects of the educational experience. Episcopal schools are most distinctive when they are true to this mission and when they do so in the graceful and inclusive manner which is the hallmark of the Anglican approach to education over the centuries.

Episcopal schools have been established, however, not solely as communities for Christians, like a parish church, but as ecumenical and diverse ministries of educational and human formation for people of all faiths and backgrounds. Episcopal schools are populated by a rich variety of human beings, from increasingly diverse religious, cultural and economic backgrounds.

Chapel Services:
All Saints' Episcopal Day School students attend chapel twice weekly. An all-school chapel on Tuesday mornings brings the entire independent private school community together. Middle school students attend chapel on Thursday mornings and lower school chapel is on Friday mornings. Parents are always welcome to attend chapel services.
