Mission
The mission of All Saints’ Episcopal Day School is to educate the minds and hearts of children by providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum that fosters a love of learning in a spiritually inclusive environment.
Core Values
All Saints’ Episcopal Day School:
- admits any child, regardless of race, color, national, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin.
- admits every child so long as an appropriate curriculum can be provided and so that each child can reap the greatest benefit possible.
- is a school where parents and visitors are welcome. We believe that a quality environment for children is one, which not only permits, but also encourages parents’ consistent involvement.
Vision
All Saints’ Episcopal Day School will:
- be a richly diverse community in all respects
- be a place that values childhood
- promote academic excellence without losing sight of the whole child
- hire and retain a superior Faculty
- maintain a robust Episcopal Identity

All Saints’ does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, religion, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its admissions and education policies, financial assistance programs, employment practices, and other school-administered programs.
Early Childhood Education
All Saints’ understands that early childhood education is a crucial building block of a child’s academic career.
Each academic level at All Saints’ incorporates specific programs in music, visual arts, language, movement, social-emotional learning, community service, and chapel.
All Saints’ students go on to attend a variety of public and private elementary schools across Austin, and the love of learning instilled here stretches well beyond the time they leave our classrooms.
Hands-on Play Based Curriculum
All Saints’ students experience innovative and challenging activities each day. All Saints’ teaching methodologies accommodate a variety of learning styles and development levels within each classroom. All Saints’ values supporting and engaging each child in their own academic exploration.
All Saints’ hands-on and play-based curriculum incorporates programs in library, music, visual arts, language, and movement. We offer Enrichment Programs, a Before School Program (Early Birds), and an After School Program (Stay & Play).
Focus On The Whole Child
All Saints’ prepares students to excel academically, and to shine as members of their family, community, and the world. We cultivate responsibility, integrity, empathy, and service.
To develop well-rounded students, the School utilizes a strong social-emotional learning program, weekly chapel, and community service programs at all classroom levels.
Outdoor Learning
All Saints’ Episcopal Day School is dedicated to having a wonderful outdoor space. Children experience joy and wonder for the natural world and hands-on learning by playing outside for extended periods. Informed by the latest educational research, that shows both better learning outcomes and self-regulation skills, the School has improved the outdoor space to maximize the development of healthy bodies, minds, and spirits.
The design of our playground was intentionally improved to become an outdoor classroom. There are more than twelve distinct play areas where indoor learning materials are brought outside and used alongside natural materials, to encourage whole-child learning. In the outdoor classroom, teachers work to help children become independent, feel belonging and connection to others, and develop a love of nature.
Caring and Committed Faculty
All Saints’ amazing Faculty and Staff provide extraordinary support to their students, the School, and the community. Our teachers nurture an environment of respect and support for each child in their classroom, and go to great lengths to create an inclusive and connected School campus.
Welcoming and Supportive Community
Your school needs to be the right fit for your child and the right fit your family. All Saints’ and our parents work together build a successful and supportive school community.
Parents attend academic programs and school events, and witness the development of their children first-hand. Parents volunteer in their child’s classroom, school-wide events, and community service programs.
