All Saints' Episcopal School offers many opportunities for you to join in our mission of providing a quality education, academically and spiritually, in a Christian environment respecting the diversity of the religious, racial, social and ethnic backgrounds of our students. As we seek ways to serve those who need us, we encourage you to join us in support. Begun as a preschool program, All Saints' Episcopal School's reputation for achieving consistently high academic results and producing confident enthusiastic learners created a demand for additional grade levels through 8th grade. All Saints' Episcopal School’s conveniently located campus facility on Maple Valley Road was designed and built to provide an individualized approach to education. This new campus became a reality in February 2002 through the hard work and support of many friends during the On Good Ground and Building Together on Good Ground Capital Campaigns. The Preschool Complex of eight classrooms and a dedicated preschool playground was added, finally bringing our entire school together in one location. Back to Top.
Our faculty and staff has included both nationally certified and regionally recognized experts in their fields who are eager to help to develop an academic family of excellence for the twenty-first century. Once again faced with record enrollment, All Saints' Episcopal School is expanding programs as well as physical space. Online computer technology has been expanded to every K-8 classroom with the completion of a technically advanced state-of the-art computer lab. In addition to Spelling Series upgrades in Language Arts classes, our Saxon Math (K-8) Series has been supplemented by Renaissance Technology. With the addition of cheerleading, golf and tennis, as well as a state-of-the-art soccer field, All Saints' Episcopal School continues to expand efforts to educate both minds and bodies. Back to Top

Residences, Real Estate and Other Property Gifts of residences and real estate can be advantageous ways of making more sizeable gifts to All Saints’ Episcopal School.

Many donors discover that they can make a substantial gift to
All Saints’ Episcopal School through planned giving. Usually,
planned gifts are trust funds from which income is paid to the
donor during his or her lifetime, with the principal going to
after the donor’s death. Donors may enjoy full tax benefits for
such contributions, enhancing their own financial situation even
as they make a lasting contribution to the school. Unrestricted
bequests, expressed as a percentage of an estate, often convey
the donor’s intentions more accurately than a specified sum. All
Saints’ Episcopal School can provide details about the many
forms that a planned gift may take and the tax advantages
associated with each.
