The vision.
An academically rigorous, spiritually serious, wholly Orthodox school — built for a time of need.
A time of need
An Orthodox family in most American cities has a church five minutes away and no Orthodox school within five hundred miles. The result is a generation formed for forty hours a week by institutions indifferent — at best — to everything their parents hold sacred. All Saints exists to end that arrangement for the families of Orange County: a five-day school where the formation of the mind and the formation of the soul are one work, carried on inside the Church's own life.
The school stands on three commitments, and refuses to trade any one for another: academically rigorous — a college-preparatory program whose rigor the wider world recognizes; spiritually serious — a day that begins in the church and is punctuated by the Church's hours of prayer; and wholly Orthodox — every teacher, administrator, board member, and advisor a cleric or faithful parishioner of an Orthodox parish.
The campus-in-a-parish model
All Saints keeps school on a parish campus in Orange County. No land purchase, no building campaign — the school's fixed costs stay radically low from day one.
Tuition is $15,000 per year, published on every page, with need-based aid available. Accessibility is not a concession of the model; it is the model.
The day begins in the church and is punctuated by the Church's hours of prayer. The campus is not near the parish — it is the parish.
The growth plan
All Saints grows one grade at a time, alongside its students — deliberately, without leverage, until the first seniors graduate.
Grades served, by school year
Each column spans the grade levels enrolled that year. Hover a column for detail.
2027–28 is the full launch: All Saints is open to enrolling students in grades 4 through 9, with each grade opening as its founding cohort fills.
A curriculum worthy of the ambition
Most school startups spend their first decade writing their program. All Saints opened with one: a nine-year, seminary-literate arc — Scripture and the Fathers traversed whole, years of Biblical and Liturgical Greek followed by Modern Greek, the trivium carried through every subject, iconography and Byzantine chant as working disciplines — taught through the lens of theanthropology, a framework no other school in American Orthodox education has built.
Accreditation & accountability
All Saints is pursuing WASC accreditation candidacy within the next two years. Accreditation evaluates an operating school, and ours is being built around what accreditors look for from the start: a documented curriculum, credentialed lead teachers, and nationally normed assessment — students are tracked on STAR and MAP throughout the year, so instruction is adjusted on real data. All Saints is an independent private school operating under California's private-school requirements, organized as a California nonprofit corporation, with federal 501(c)(3) status pending.
What we will measure
Institutions earn trust by reporting. Beginning summer 2027, All Saints will publish an annual report — enrollment and retention, academic growth, the artifacts of formation, and the finances, plainly. Student progress is already tracked on nationally normed STAR and MAP assessments; see Assessment & Accreditation.
