All Saints' Episcopal School, which was known as All Saints' Day School for the first thirty-three years of its existence, was established in 1967 by church parishioners, who were seeking an education alternative for their children. At the time, there were no public pre-schools or kindergartens for their children, so they set out to create their own. The parents met at the house of Sara Gose, and developed the first plans for a school, and later implemented their ideas under Father Jim Patrick's supervision. At first, All Saints' was only a preschool for three and four-year olds, expanding to include a five year old program one year later in 1968.
As requests for higher grades increased over the years, All Saints' Day School added a first grade in 1985. Two years later, in 1987, the school expanded to include second, third, and fourth grades. This growth sparked the acquisition of the Boxmoor campus. At this time, Father Charles Roberts was the headmaster. After the move to Boxmoor, one grade was added each year until a full complement of eight grades was reached, in 1992.
Once again parents and staff began dreaming of an additional school expansion. Early in 1998, land for a new building was purchased and the building campaign "On Good Ground" was begun to raise money for a building that might eventually house students from pre-school through twelfth grade.
The students who currently attend All Saints' Episcopal School are very thankful to the parents of the 60's who vision was made a reality. We also look forward to the next phase of All Saints' development.

Profile And Open Letter To Students And Parents
Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to All Saints’ Episcopal School for the 2007-2008 school year. After spending the past several months preparing for this year, we are excited about our program and what we have to offer you. We hope you will share this excitement with us.
All Saints' Episcopal Preschool has earned a three-star rating as a state licensed learning center. The Preschool teachers take pride in preparing children for successful learning experiences, with the main focus being upon the social and emotional development of the child. Our preschool students will learn through games, songs, play and developmentally appropriate academic activities.
Our full-time state-certified faculty members in Kindergarten through Grade 8 will continue a program of curriculum mapping. This mapping will help us to communicate the content, skills and assessment strategies of our core curriculum to our parents.
Our entire curriculum emphasizes a logical and sequential format. We aim to achieve a true individualized focus on learning while, at the same time, encouraging team-building skills through the use of an integrated curriculum. We will strive to meet the academic needs of each student while we nurture and reinforce a lifelong desire for learning.
As we open a new era in the All Saints' Episcopal School history, we ask you to join with us in providing our students with the best educational opportunities possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. Clauston Jenkins
Interim Head of School

All Saints’ Episcopal School Mission Statement
All Saints' Episcopal School Provides a quality education, academically and spiritually, in a Christian environment, respecting the diversity of the religious, racial, social and ethnic backgrounds of its students.
All Saints’ Episcopal School is an institution of learning richly blessed. An excellent faculty, supportive parents, and eager students are just a few of our many blessings. Community wide support and encouragement has yielded more than forty years of excellence in education.
The mission of All Saints’ Episcopal School is to provide students a quality education in a traditional Christian environment without regard to a student’s race, gender, religion, or national origin.
It is the fulfilling of this mission, which has caused our enormous growth and prompted us to expand our program and facilities.
We welcome students from all walks of life, from every religion, race, national origin, gender, and socio-economic background. We believe that a heterogeneous student body is a healthy one; for it is by association with those who are different from us that we learn what it means to be fully human.
We invite those who care about children and share our vision to join us in making it a reality. After all, our Lord said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven.” We want to follow that commandment in a dynamic, pragmatic way.
