All Saints Episcopal Day School is an interdenominational school of more than 190 students in Nursery through Eighth Grades, serving children of all faiths since 1985. We are located in Hoboken on the corner of 7th and Washington Streets (Grades 1-8), and the corner of Sixth and Clinton Streets (Nursery, Pre-K and K). The Day School is accredited by the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools, sponsored by All Saints Episcopal Parish, and holds memberships in the National Association of Episcopal Schools and the National Middle School Association. Although we are not a religious school, the values of the Episcopal Church serve as the foundation for our community. This means that the school is 1) comprehensive and inclusive; 2) values reason as a means to true understanding, 3) demonstrates concern for the well being of society, and 4) allows students to connect religion and spirituality to their learning. We have a qualified and dedicated staff of over 30 teachers and assistants who are supported in continued professional development. All Saints offers extended hours for before and after school care, a wide variety of enrichment classes after school for students in all grades, and quality day camp and care offered during extended vacations from school. Kindergarten through Eighth Grade students take an exciting array of field trips, both in the community, and throughout New Jersey and New York City.
Our ambitious mission enables our students to experience a high quality, rigorous independent school education in a safe and nurturing school environment. We offer a core curriculum of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, world language and health, as well as an array of special subjects including art, music, dance, drama, computers, and community service. Our graduates have earned us a reputation for academic excellence and a well-developed sense of social responsibility. Our school houses bright, open, well-lit and stimulating classrooms, as well as a gymnasium, movement room, library, science lab, art room, networked computers in every classroom, private outdoor playgrounds, and the use of the church for assemblies and performances.
The Early Childhood Program at All Saints is a half-day program for Nursery (age 3) and Pre-Kindergarten (age 4) students. Students explore the world through a variety of classroom centers, neighborhood trips, and outdoor activities all in a nurturing environment. Play is the primary vehicle for learning in the early years, with educational experiences designed to foster a lifetime love of exploration and learning. Kindergarten is the first year of full day school at All Saints, and students enjoy a complete schedule designed to balance academic learning, play, and personal reflection.
In the All Saints Elementary Program students continue their academic pursuits while participating in key social and service learning activities. Each year students complete a benchmark academic and social project aimed to capture the academic goals of the school year while contributing to their community in meaningful ways. Students explore the core academic subjects through hands-on science and math, small-group reading and writing, and problem-based learning that combines elements from each discipline.
The All Saints Middle School Program is a natural extension of the elementary program, and is designed to prepare students for entry into competetive independent high schools in New York City and the broader New Jersey area. The program is designed to serve students in grades 5-8 in accordance with the newest research about the academic and developmental needs of children at this important stage of life. Program offerings at this division are broad and comprehensive, and are designed to reach and teach the whole child: academic, artistic, social, physical, emotional and spiritual. Technology is integrated into all disciplines throughout the middle school. Beginning in Seventh Grade, each student receives their own netbook to utilize with the school’s computer network for note-taking, researching, and completing work. Middle School also offers the opportunity for students to run for offices of the student government and develop important leadership skills. In addition to the vast offering of field trips tied directly to their curriculum, each year in the middle school, students go on a three-day field trip designed to launch or capture the theme for that school year.
