Understanding All Saints' Episcopal School Tuition and Financial Aid
All Saints' Episcopal School, established in 1963, has a long-standing tradition of providing excellent education to students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in North Central Phoenix. An independent school education is an investment in your child’s future. Recognizing that financing such education can be a challenge for many families, All Saints’ strives to make it accessible through various financial aid and payment options. The school believes that an economically and culturally diverse student body is essential to a complete education, and financial aid is a tangible reflection of their commitment to a life of leadership through service to others. All Saints is a community. We care for one another. We know one another. We strengthen & cheer for one another. The Rev. We chose All Saints for the excellent teachers and academic program in addition to the opportunities for spiritual development, community service, and athletics. All Saints helped prepare our kids for college.

Commitment to Socioeconomic Diversity
All Saints' Episcopal School is committed to fostering a diverse community. The All Saints’ Episcopal School community is comprised of families who respect and value diverse cultures, interests, passions, experiences, religious beliefs and socio-economic backgrounds. The Variable Tuition Program helps the school fulfill its mission by increasing socioeconomic diversity in the school community. The representation of families across the economic spectrum not only broadens perspectives but also reinforces the core values of respect, responsibility, and compassion. They believe that economic diversity enriches their community, fosters inclusion, and enhances the educational and social-emotional experience for children as well as adults. No student or family should hesitate to apply for admission because of their inability to pay the entire cost.

Tuition Refund Plan
The Tuition Refund Plan provides for insurance against a parent’s obligation to pay tuition in the event that a student is withdrawn. Coverage varies according to the reason for withdrawal and the length of time remaining in the school year. All Saints strongly encourages parental participation in this program.
Community Involvement and Fundraising
Please note, All Saints School is able to offer a reduced cost of tuition (subsidized tuition) with fundraising and the All Saints Parish subsidy. All Saints School community is created by families spending time together and supporting the needs of the school and parish with Service Hours (volunteer hours). We strongly encourage participation in classroom activities, community service projects, school committees, school and parish events, and other service opportunities throughout the school year. The impact of these service hours are invaluable and make All Saints a truly special school, parish and community. Click here for a list of example Service Hours volunteer opportunities. Additional family obligation is fundraising. All Saints hosts events throughout the year and provides other fun and easy ways to raise donations to support different needs of the school. One way All Saints raises money is with SCRIP (Substitute Cash Redeem In Person). Families buy store SCRIP from the school at face value, and then use it to pay for purchases. All Saints receives a percentage of the value of SCRIP sold. $2000 of SCRIP from June 1st through May 15th is required.
