All Saints Episcopal Day School is a co-educational independent school for students from Pre-K3 to 8th grade. The school is located in Hoboken, New Jersey, and occupies two campuses: the Elementary school and Middle schools are located at 707 Washington Street on the corner of 7th and Washington Streets, and the Early Childhood Center, which is located at 527 Clinton St. on the corner of Sixth and Clinton Streets, houses the Pre-K3, Pre-K4 and Kindergarten programs. Both campuses boast historic landmark buildings, and include a gymnasium, movement room, science lab, art room, and private outdoor play yards. There are SMART Boards in all classrooms and networked computers throughout all of the buildings.
The core curriculum consists of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, world language and health, as well as special subjects including art, music, dance, drama, computers, and community service. The overall Student–teacher ratio is 5 to 1. All Saints is an IB World School meaning that it is authorized to provide the IB Programme to all of the grade levels the school covers. IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education.
Each grade takes approximately six to ten field trips in New York City and the surrounding area each year. Beginning in fifth grade, students also participate in multi-day trips, including visits to Frost Valley Farm Camp in fifth grade, Clearpool Green Chimneys in sixth grade, and Boston in seventh grade. Eighth-grade students take an international capstone trip. In recent years, destinations have included Scotland, where students have participated in activities related to environmental sustainability and global citizenship.
