Admissions Procedures & Policies
We appreciate your interest in All Saints Episcopal School!
All interested families are encouraged to schedule an appointment with Kathy Fisher, Director of Admissions, to tour the campus and discuss questions about the curriculum and programs offered. There is no cost to tour the school which generally takes about an hour.
All Saints Episcopal School is open to children of all races, creeds, denominations, nationalities, orientations, and perspectives. The school reserves the right to choose among applicants those who are most likely to benefit from the school curriculum and program of instruction.
About Admissions Testing
- Students applying for PK3, PK4, or Kindergarten who have applied for admission are invited to participate in small group assessment appointments conducted by our Admissions Testing Team. During this brief assessment, candidates will engage in a play-school setting, interacting in center-time activities, facilitated by the teachers. Children will be assessed based on a range of developmentally appropriate academic exercises, while social/emotional/behavioral observations are made.
-
Admissions assessment appointments for PK3, PK4 and Kindergarten candidates are scheduled throughout February and March, preceding the semester of desired enrollment. Candidates are placed in the wait pool until assessments of all candidates have been completed during that two month period. Families will receive notification of either acceptance, denial, or wait pool status the first week of April, preceding the semester of desired enrollment.
- Students applying for 1st and 2nd Grade are assessed one-on-one with a teacher and are invited to participate in classroom activities with current students.
- Students applying for 3rd-8th Grade are evaluated on adaptive computer assessment programs. These students will also complete and submit a writing sample during the allotted testing appointment. Students at this level are invited to “shadow” for a day and follow a current student through a typical All Saints schedule.
- All children applying to the school should show promise of behaving in accord with the character and values of All Saints.
Additional Information
- Students applying for 1st - 8th grade must submit achievement test scores and report cards from previous years.
- Financial assistance is available for grades K - 8th and is based solely on need. A student must be accepted before applying for financial assistance.
- All Saints also offers an after-school program solely for our students called CLUB. It is offered from 1-6 pm on all school days! You can get more information in the front office.
Acceptance Policy
- For PK3, PK4, Kindergarten, and 1st grade applicants, we will accept those students whose scores indicate school readiness and an ability to process the amount of information at the advanced pace provided by our curriculum.
- For 2nd - 8th grade applicants, we will accept those students whose scores fall within or above the range of scores of our currently enrolled students for that corresponding grade level.
- If a student is qualified but no space is available within the grade level, the student will be placed in a waiting pool. If and when a space becomes available the most qualified student in the waiting pool will be invited to enroll.
- Admission is based on the availability of space, and the qualifications of the applicant as determined by the Admissions Committee.
