“My students become my kids; we are a family that leans on each other, supports each other, and loves each other well.”
Annie Heinzelmann, Fourth Grade Faculty

Every family has unique hopes and dreams for their child’s education, yet most schools want students to fit into a predetermined definition of success. You don’t have to fit into a box here.

All Saints’ lets the student identify what success means for them by fostering the development of his or her own genius within.

Faith & Reason

Episcopal schools have thrived in the United States for 300 years, in large part due to a focus on an intentionally balanced educational experience. The cadence of our school life includes daily worship, religious education at every age, and ongoing service learning projects all within an inclusive community. All faiths are welcome here alongside critical thinking and civil discourse. We are more united when we understand and honor our differences.

Our heritage is more than just history.
“I see glimpses of joy and loving kindness in our students, faculty, and staff every day. Even when we encounter challenges, the love of God is evident in our care and concern for one another.”
Mother Jill Walters, Senior Chaplain

Saint

Whether for Faculty Night or Senior Night, our Saints hit it out of the park.

McNair Stadium is home to Friday Night Lights, Fall Rally, Homecoming and Field Days.

The Chapel hosts daily services, and is the natural home for the Q&U Wedding, Early Childhood Graduation, Junior Unity Day, Senior Robing, and countless celebrations in between.

Early Childhood leads a Halloween Parade across campus, participates in Western Day, and loves hosting big kid buddies who help with reading and other classroom activities.

The Burnett Great Lawn is home to kite flying, first day of school photos, as well as campus-wide celebrations and Commencement.

Lower School hosts an annual Family STEAM Night, Cinderella Ball, and History in Motion project.

Middle School is home to House Competitions and Project Empathy, a year-long service-learning project that engages the entire School.

The Sellers & Campbell Union is a hub for community dining, celebrations, and meaningful conversations. The annual Blessing of the Pets brings the community together in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

Upper School students look forward to Howdy Week, Homecoming, lunch time concerts and Honors College Scholars-in-Residence.

Space for tradition

Stevens Field hosts the Episcopal Cup, an annual Field Hockey tournament of regional Episcopal schools. The RANGE hosts Environmental Science students, class nature walks and Eagle Scout projects. The entire campus gathers for pep rallies to cheer on our Varsity Saints.

All for One

“Our school encourages Saints of all ages to interact and learn together. Helping out in the EC is a lot of fun!”

An Age 3 - Grade 12 campus allows all ages to support each other, learn from each other and celebrate each other. Reading Buddies, service learning projects, pep rallies, sports camps and more contribute to a robust sense of belonging and purpose across Divisions.

Don’t hold your applause

The Fine Arts allow for the exploration of disciplined creativity. Classwork includes a holistic perspective supporting theoretical practices, production and performance. All grade levels are given opportunities to showcase their talents in each of these categories. Examples include the Early Childhood Thanksgiving Production, First Grade Nativity Play, multiple spring musicals, dance recitals, participation in local and national visual art and choir contests, and performances at the annual ISAS Fine Arts Festival.

A Dress Code to Tie For

Once a week, K-12 students wear their dress uniform for Eucharist. Moving into Middle School, boys assume the additional requirement of an All Saints’ tie. It’s a special rite of passage, one that is honored again at the last Eucharist of the year, when seniors leave their ties on the Chapel railing.

Upper School students, boys and girls, add a blue blazer to their dress uniform, a formal indication that they are preparing for a life of personal and professional purpose.

family affair

Our students aren’t just learning from their teachers. They’re learning from their parents, grandparents and other mentors on and off campus. That’s one reason we say this School is a family. Our shared and unique experiences work together to strengthen our community of learners and the entire All Saints’ experience.

“All Saints’ has a loving environment that other schools can’t match. Highly competitive in education, sports, arts and campus facilities, there’s also the added value of Chapel and the time spent teaching and studying the Bible.”

Janice Thomas, Parent to four alumni and Grandparent to six current saints
