Why Choose All Saints’?

At All Saints’, we have such a unique opportunity to build relationships with students and parents from Pre-Kindergarten all the way up through Grade 12. Our faculty embraces all students’ genius within and develops them into the servants, scholars, artists and athletes they are meant to become. The All Saints’ educational journey is designed to prepare students for the next level, so that when it’s time for college, they are ready to take on the academic challenges ahead and experience the real world with a strong sense of self and servant leadership.

Saints are servant leaders.CHAPEL All Saints’ Chapel is not just the highest point on campus, the first site one sees when coming through the main gate or the foreground of a breathtaking sunset in the Texas sky. It is truly the heart of our community – the one place that every member of our student body graces each day. We assemble in silence, in unity and in prayer regardless of age, religion, creed or practice. We gather, we give thanks, we console, we celebrate.

SERVANT LEADERSHIPIn seeking to promote the genius within its students, All Saints’ strives to produce servant leaders who will transform the world for the better, deal successfully with life’s challenges and know what it is that God is calling them to do by using their gifts. In everything we do, our students are encouraged to display exceptional character, personal integrity, altruistic endeavor, moral development, pro-social behavior and service to others.

Saints are scholars.RANGE Research, Adventure, Nature, Geology, Ecology. This 16-acre area of campus includes a distinctive native prairie grassland and wetland, community garden, orchard and greenhouse. Students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 are active participants in the appreciation and conservation of our natural areas in this diverse and unique outdoor classroom, a perfect fresh-air complement to the experiential learning taking place indoors every day.

ACADEMICSAll Saints’ is committed to guiding students through an academic journey that starts in the Early Childhood program and carries all the way through graduation. Each of our four Divisions promotes and cultivates intellectual curiosity through a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum that ensures students are well prepared to transition to the next Division and beyond. Regardless of when a student joins the All Saints’ community, individual academic gifts are recognized and lifted up to his/her true potential.

FINE ARTSAll Saints’ promotes student participation in all areas of the Fine Arts, including music, theatre arts, visual arts and dance.

Saints are athletes.MCNAIR STADIUM/YOUNG FIELDOn Friday nights during the fall, the lights shine brightly on Young Field while the whole community gathers in McNair Stadium to cheer on our Saints. The modern All Saints’ facilities support our athletic programs at the top level: two gymnasiums, weight room, wrestling room, baseball and softball diamonds, tennis courts and practice and competition fields for soccer and field hockey.

ATHLETICSAll Saints’ athletic philosophy is centered around positive character development and the encouragement of critical thinking both in practice and competition. We strive to elevate student athletes’ time management skills, self-discipline and overall awareness of the benefits of physical fitness. Ultimately, our goal in athletics is to challenge students to have fun, overcome adversity, risk failure, exercise resiliency and learn how to win with grace and lose with dignity.

College AdvisingA hallmark of the All Saints’ experience is the College Advising program. Beginning in the freshman year, each student is well-informed and ready for the challenge of exploring, analyzing and applying to certain colleges and universities. Because each student has different gifts and interests, it is the job of the College Advising team to work one-on-one with that student and his/her parents to strategically and methodically help them make the best decision for the next steps in their educational journey. All Saints’ seniors have been accepted to colleges and universities from coast to coast that reflect the diversity and strengths unique to each student including Rice University, United States Air Force Academy, Stanford University, Vanderbilt University, University of Virginia, Emory, Wake Forest, Northwestern University, Columbia University, University of Texas, Yale University, Middlebury College, Texas Christian University, University of Oregon and Boston College, to name a few. The College Advising team also works to ensure that students are aware of, apply for and are strong contenders for merit scholarships. 75 members of the Class of 2014 received a total of more than $8.9 million in merit scholarships.
