Academics > Upper School

All Saints Episcopal School is a true “community” school; students, faculty, and parents from the East Texas area come here to learn, play, worship and interact. More than once I have heard, “There always seems to be something exciting happening around here!” We often refer to the four pillars that represent the All Saints experience: academics, arts, athletics, and Christian environment.

First and foremost of these is our academic program. Students are encouraged to explore various possibilities and to stretch their minds. This is done through a variety of experiences both inside and outside the classroom. In the classroom, our incomparable faculty is committed to providing the highest quality of education.  While test scores are not the only signs of success, it is worthy of note that our scores are well above the state and national averages on PSAT and ACT. Educational programs are designed with student needs in mind. Students receive assistance to accelerate their learning to make them inquisitive and active learners, to help them master experiences both scholastically and otherwise.  With the support of the faculty, students are given the opportunity to take on personal responsibility and leadership roles to become contributing members of the All Saints community and the community at large.

Outside of the classroom students have the opportunity to compete in variety different academic, sports, and fine arts categories through the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS). 

And finally, to prepare our students for experiences beyond the Upper School, a comprehensive college advising program is integrated into the educational curriculum starting in the spring of the eighth grade.
