What We Look For
A child who is curious, and a family who wants the faith at the center of the school day. We read for effort and for fit. Orthodox Christian families, and families undergoing catechesis, have priority in admission. Families who are not Orthodox are welcome to apply.
Students arrive from every kind of school, most of them a little ahead in some subjects and a little behind in others.
For Homeschooling Families
All Saints is a five-day school and most students are here every day. Families coming from homeschooling have two accommodations available to them.
A three-day week. A family with real constraints, or with deep homeschooling experience, may ask for a Tuesday-to-Thursday schedule and teach the same content at home on Monday and Friday, on our materials and at our pace. It is arranged family by family. Ask for it in your inquiry.
An application without report cards. Homeschooling families send a portfolio or a parent summary in place of a year of report cards. The rest of the application is the same.
Transferring In
Considered on a rolling basis for 2026–2027, where a seat is open in grades 5 and 6.
Students arrive from every kind of school, most of them a little ahead in some subjects and a little behind in others. Koine Greek, Byzantine Chant, Orthodox Theology and the Classical Core build year on year, so entering at the start of a sequence is the cleanest route. Students do join mid-stream. The faculty sends reading to prepare over the summer and supports the catch-up once classes begin.
Small classes, a weekly Learning Lab for supported study, and STAR and MAP testing each trimester mean a teacher notices quickly when a child needs more. Say in your inquiry which year your child would be entering, and we will talk about what that year would ask of them.
The Application
Five steps, in order.
Tell us about your child through the inquiry form.
Twenty minutes with Ms. Olutade about your child, and an evening online with the lead teachers.
The application form and the $50 fee, with one year of report cards and a letter from your parish clergy. What to send →
We meet your child in person. The interview helps us understand where they are academically and personally, and what support they would need from us to do well here. Applicants to the high school may also be asked to complete a reading and mathematics assessment and a demonstration classroom session.
Receive your admissions decision, secure your spot, and receive the summer reading list with the enrollment packet.

Academic Support
Small classes, a weekly Learning Lab for supported study, and nationally normed STAR and MAP testing mean a teacher notices quickly when a child needs something more. If your child learns differently, say so in your inquiry and we will talk honestly about what they need and whether we can provide it.

Fees and Payment
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Application fee | $50, and $25 for each additional sibling applying the same year. |
| Enrollment deposit | $500 when you accept a seat, applied to your tuition. It holds the place; it is not an extra cost. |
| Families with more than one child | Families with more than one child here should raise it in the aid conversation, where we look at the whole household rather than apply a flat percentage. |
| Payment plans | Pay in full and take 5% off. Pay in two installments and take 3% off. Or pay across ten months, August to May, at the full figure with no fee added. That is $9,500, $9,700, or $10,000. |
Applying for Aid
Aid is applied for through a third-party service that reviews your finances and sends us a recommended award. We see the recommendation, not your tax returns. Raise aid in your inquiry so we know to look for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which grades can apply for 2027–2028?
2027–2028 enrolls All Saints Primary in grades 3 and 4, All Saints Middle School in grades 5 through 8, and the first high school class in grade 9. The school then grows one grade each year until our first seniors graduate. (This school year, 2026–2027, is our soft launch with grades 5 and 6.) Grades below 3 are not open for 2027–2028, though lower grades may open as the right faculty come. If you are interested in an earlier grade, say so in your inquiry — it helps us plan.
Where does school meet?
Our current campus is at 31612 El Camino Real, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675.
Do we have to be Orthodox?
Christ is the entire focus here: curriculum, faculty, and student life alike. Orthodox Christian families, and families undergoing catechesis, have priority in admission. Families who are not Orthodox are welcome to apply.
What if we're new to Orthodox Christianity?
It is the ancient Christian Church: the Church of the apostles, the councils, and the Fathers, in an unbroken tradition roughly two thousand years old. Your child prays in the church each morning and keeps the feasts as school days. Families new to it are not expected to arrive fluent.
Is this a full-time school?
Yes. All Saints is a five-day school, on campus every school day.
A family with real constraints, or with deep homeschooling experience, may ask for a three-day Tuesday to Thursday schedule, teaching the same content at home on Monday and Friday, on our materials and at our pace.
How big are classes?
Classes are small, and grades close once they are full.
What does the application require?
The application form and a $50 fee, one year of report cards, and a letter from your priest or parish clergy. A letter from a current teacher is welcome but not required. We then interview your child and meet with the parents.
Can we come and see the school?
Yes. Parents meet the Head of School and the lead teachers at a Virtual Open House, held in November, December, January, and February. Students who have applied come to campus for Centurion for a Day.
Send an inquiry and we will send you the dates.
Will All Saints be accredited?
All Saints is an independent school operating under California's private-school requirements. Accreditation can only begin once a school is operating. As of October 2026 the school is in the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accreditation process. All Saints is also a member school of the Society for Classical Learning and will pursue formal SCL accreditation, and has begun the process of registering as a Cambridge International School. Meanwhile progress is tracked with nationally normed STAR and MAP testing, and the school keeps what accreditors look for: a documented curriculum, named materials, and student growth data.
Are you a co-ed school?
Yes, co-ed by design. Our Pilot Cohort happened to be boys, because the first families to say yes had sons. For 2027–2028 we are enrolling girls into every grade we open, with women on the founding faculty in Theology, Media & Theatre Arts, mathematics, and coaching.
What about socialization at a small school?
Students live in a mixed-age community inside a full parish, with adults and children of every generation rather than one grade-level cohort. Friendships form up and down the years.
Can a student join in a later grade and still catch up?
Yes. Greek, Byzantine Chant, Orthodox Theology, and the Theanthropology Core grow year on year, so entering the full sequence is best. Students do join mid-stream, and the faculty sends reading to prepare over the summer and supports the catch-up once classes begin.
Will there be AP courses?
Yes. All Saints High will offer Advanced Placement courses across the humanities, mathematics, and the sciences.
What is the Theanthropology Core?
Theanthropology is the study of how God relates to humans. All Saints’ Classical Core is the four disciplines that teach it most directly: Theology, History, Literature, and the sacred arts, aligned trimester by trimester so each tells the same chapter of the same story.
