All Saints Cathedral School enrolls nearly 500 boys and girls in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12, divided fairly evenly between boys and girls. The ethnic makeup is highly diverse. The number of students at each grade level is normally between 30 and 40; each grade is arbitrarily divided into A and B sections. The enrollment is stable since there is no room for expansion of the physical facilities.
Philosophy
"In the environment arising from the union of church and school, All Saints seeks to nurture the spiritual and social growth as well as the intellectual development of each and every student. All Saints emphasizes the importance of moral and ethical behavior and maintaining harmonious relationships within its very diverse community. School uniforms and weekly attendance at mass and chapel are required for all. Academic standards are rigorous at every grade level, and ultimately students are prepared for high achievement in academics and careers. The school has an outstanding record in standardized tests and produces a high percentage of National Merit Scholars."
