All Saints Episcopal Day School

Founded in 1985 as an outreach mission of All Saints Episcopal Parish, the school is committed to academic excellence, social responsibility, and an inclusive view of spirituality. It operates under the principle of "Mitakuye Oyasin," a Lakota expression meaning "We are All Related," and emphasizes the Episcopal values of respecting the dignity of every human being. The school fosters a diverse community that encourages critical thinking, ethical acumen, and a sense of purpose.

The school offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP). The academic journey spans from Early Childhood (Pre-K3 to Kindergarten) through Elementary (Grades 1–5) and Middle School (Grades 6–8). The curriculum emphasizes inquiry-based learning, global citizenship, and hands-on experiences, including curriculum-based field trips and an international capstone project in Grade 8.

All Saints students are sought after by the region’s top secondary schools. Graduates leave the school with the confidence, credentials, and maturity to succeed in high school and beyond. The school’s curriculum includes a transformative international capstone experience for Grade 8 students.

The school maintains a 5:1 student-to-teacher ratio with an average class size of 15 students. This structure allows faculty to act as mentors who recognize individual student strengths and provide personalized support. Literacy intervention is also provided by specialized staff.

Prospective families are encouraged to contact the Admissions Office to schedule an individual tour. The application process includes an inquiry form, and the school offers a comprehensive financial aid program for families with demonstrated need. Merit-based scholarships are available for qualified applicants entering Grades 5, 6, and 7, which require an essay, interview, and a half-day classroom visit.

The school day varies by grade level: Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 offer half-day (8:30–11:15 am) and full-day (8:30 am–3:00 pm) options. Kindergarten and Grade 1 run from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, Grades 2–4 from 8:20 am to 3:00 pm, and Grades 5–8 from 8:20 am to 3:20 pm. Extended care is available through a Before School Program starting at 7:30 am and an After School Program running until 6:00 pm.

The campus is located in two historic 19th-century fieldstone buildings in Hoboken. The 707 Washington Street location houses Grades 1–8 and features a gymnasium, media commons, and a commons and café. The 527 Clinton Street building, known as the Saint Nicholas Center, serves Pre-K3 through Kindergarten and includes an art studio, an "Imagination Station," and administrative offices. Additional facilities include science labs, gardening spaces, and outdoor play areas.

The school provides over 17 after-school activities and enrichment opportunities. Service learning is integrated into the curriculum at every grade level, with examples including fundraising for endangered species in first grade, civic engagement projects in fourth grade, and composting initiatives in seventh grade. The school also hosts an annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and Action.
