The school occupies two campuses: the Elementary school and Middle school which is located at 707 Washington St., on the corner of 7th and Washington Streets, and houses Grades 1-8, and the Early Learning Center, which is located at 527 Clinton St. on the corner of Sixth and Clinton Streets, houses the Nursery, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs. Both campuses boast historic landmark buildings, and include a gymnasium, movement room, library, science lab, art room, assembly space in the church, and private outdoor play yards. There are SMART Boards in all classrooms and networked computers throughout all of the buildings.

The core curriculum consists of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, world language and health, as well as an array of special subjects including art, music, dance, drama, computers, and community service. All Saints offers extended hours for before and after school care, an optional extended day program for Nursery and Pre-Kindergarten, a wide variety of enrichment classes for students in all grades, and day camp offerings during extended vacations from school. Graduates from All Saints have gone on to attend competitive high schools in New York City and New Jersey. The overall Student–teacher ratio is 11 to 1.

Eighth Graders participate in an international exchange program with a school in Ecuador, and spend 10 days living with host families in Quito.
