Both of our children attend All Saints and we are extremely pleased with the education they are receiving. The teaching staff takes a strong interest in the success of each student and is actively involved in helping them meet their goals. The community is very friendly and inviting. We couldn't be happier with our experience at All Saints.

I can't believe how lucky we are to have found ASEDS. We are thrilled with the leadership and couldn't be more pleased in the academic progress that our children are demonstrating. Add to that the attentive staff and and their ability to create a nurturing environment and you have a school that fits us perfectly.

All Saints is a great place. My son has flourished here. He started in the Nursery Program and is now in the 2nd grade. The communication by the staff...administrators, teachers and employees is incredible. I can't express enough how grateful and lucky we are.

All Saints provides a great learning environment - there are small classes with teachers dedicated to their students success. Parent involvement is very high and parents and teachers work well together to support learning

Both of our children are at All Saints and we are extremely satisfied with the school, not only as far as the quality of its educational program is concerned, but also its work within the community with which the children are fully involved. It is a small and very warm community and the class sizes are small so the children receive plenty of attention and they can be challenged appropriately. The teaching and administrative staff are all extremely approachable and responsive. I cannot say enough good things!

Our daughter has been at All Saints since 2007 and our son just started his nursery year. All Saints fosters a solid foundation for learning, community and personal growth. My daughter has thrived at All Saints and we expect the same will be true for our son. We are grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community.

My daughter has been at All Saints for the last 2 years and we absolutely love it here. This is her first school ever and we are very happy to find the perfect fit for her. This school encourages individuality, curriculum and personal growth.

We have been very happy with the education our daughter, now a third grader, has received at All Saints. The curriculum is appropriately challenging and the teaching staff is excellent. The new science lab is especially exciting - as are the individual student laptops and smartboards.

This is my daughters 5th year at All Saints and we couldn't be happier. The atmosphere is warm and encouraging. The staff is very accessible and responsive to both me and my daughter. I give it a glowing recommendation.

Our children have and continue to flourish here at All Saints. Not only is their academic program excellant, they are a school that is committed to the community and our children are involved with that process.

Our daughter is about to finish her first year at ASEDS and it has truly been a transformative experience. Her personal growth, communication skills, friendships and overall academic experience have impressed us immensely. She is challenged and nurtured in a committed community of talented teachers and faculty.

My son has been at All Saints since 2001 and is one of 2 children to be the longest tenured children in the school's history. We love the school for not just its academic excellence, but for its loving and nurturing environment. We have been though some very difficult times as a family while at All Saints, and I couldn't ask for a better place for my son to have been. We love the cultural and religious diversity and how it supports community. I am proud that we are part of the new and flourishing middle school progrm!

My oldest daughter has been at All Saints for 9 years and will be entering the 7th Grade in September. My other children are following in her footsteps, so I have some experience with the school. This school lives its mission. It places importance on all aspects of a child, academics, social responsibility, and community. They want to nurture well rounded children who have confidence to achieve their very best. Now that my daughter is in middle school, I see how important her school community plays in her growth and self confidence through what are typically awkward years. It is a wonderful school that is preparing my children well. Excellent!

We have been an All Saints family since the fall of 2004. Our daughters will be entering 5th grade and Kindergarten in September. Both girls, and particularly our 5th grader, have remarkably grown from the inside out at All Saints. The very essense of a child's being is nutured and cultivated at this school in a way that transcends today's academic dialogue. This, along with rigorous academics, individualized attention and community service make All Saints an outstanding school.

My daughter has been going to All Saints for 3 years now and it's an excellent school on all levels. Amazing parent and teacher involvement and great academics combined with a respect for the community at large. Class sizes are small enough that each student gets individualized attention. Definitely an A+

We moved to Hoboken, NJ from NYC, where our children had been attending an excellent school for years. Needless to say, we were VERY nervous about the transition to a new school. Our children entered All Saints as 2nd and 4th graders last fall (2009). We are now at the end of our first full school year and we could not be more pleased with our experience. The teachers at All Saints are exceptional. They have the very best training and are masterful at getting the very best out of our children without "pushing" them too hard. The access that we have to the teachers is unbelievable. I email with each of them a couple times a week so I feel like I always know how my children are doing. The facilities look and feel traditional but are packed with the latest technology including smart boards in each classroom. Highly recommend!

My children came to this school after attending the local public school. The two environments cannot be compared. All Saints is staffed with enthusiastic, caring and experienced teachers. My children are excited to go to school every day. The academics are strong and there is also an emphasis on being part of a community and the responsibilities that go with that. I am very excited (and relieved) that the school is expanding to the 8th grade so that my children can continue to learn in such a wonderful environment (nursery and pre-k will move to new space for fall 2009!).

My daughter attends pre-K.The teachers are wonderful and very creative.The school is a wonderful environment for her. She is thrilled to go back every day and learn something new. She is already spelling and writing at an amazing level for her age. Teachers, faculty and administrators are very organized and always very helpful. There is also a very nice friendly atmosphere and relationship among all parents.My vote is definetly thumbs up.

My daughter was lucky enough to move to this school from a public school. She was challenged to work up to her full potential for the first time. She loves going to school and begs to go even if she is sick. She is applauded for her accomplishments and helped with her challenges. The faculty and administration is organized and caring. As a parent, I have done class projects with all grades and have been shocked at how uniformly responsive and sweet the kids are. There is also very usable aftercare and interesting extracurricular activities. My daughter is currently taking a film making class! The principal and vice principal are always available and accommodating. Her teachers are just an email away. If you want an academically rigorous program in a caring and supportive environment, this is it.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
