All Saints-by-the-Sea Parish School

Though we are comparatively small, we stand as part of a much larger tradition of history and excellence in education in the Anglican tradition. All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church is quite justly proud of our school. It's our desire that our school will, by analogy, light the pathway for a sound development of our children, not only through quality education but also through the formation of the heart and spirit.

To that end, we provide weekly chapel services for the children. Here we teach the children to value the gift of God's creation, their parents and family, and the community around them through stories, song and prayer.

All Saints-by-the-Sea Parish School is nonprofit and welcomes all children in the community regardless of race, religion or national origin. We are licensed by the California State Department of health, certified by the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, and a member of the National Association of Schools.

Our Program
Children begin the day inside their own age group doing activities which include creative art, music, dramatic play, puzzles, games, playdough, cooking, block building, etc. This is followed by circle time, with language development, stories, songs, finger plays, science experiments, and math and reading readiness.

Outdoor activity consists of climbing, running, swinging, ball play, tricycle riding, sand and water play, art and lunchtime.

The morning session ends inside the classroom with a quiet closing time that includes sharing, books, games, and songs.
