our History
All Saints Catholic Academy is an independent, co-ed, Catholic school in New Haven that empowers Pre-K 3 to 8th grade students to become lifelong learners through a rigorous academic program that promotes communication and collaboration.
During the course of the 2019-2020 academic year, an Ad Hoc Committee from the Archdiocese of Hartford was established to study Catholic elementary education in New Haven. The goal was to determine the best way to continue providing Catholic educational opportunities to the families seeking them.
As a result of that study, and after a thorough consultation among the New Haven Catholic school pastors, a plan was created. To ensure that Catholic school education remained accessible to all New Haven families, All Saints Catholic Academy (ASCA) was established located at 423 Ferry Street – the former home of St. Francis and St. Rose of Lima School.
With this vision, the last three existing New Haven Catholic schools (Catholic Academy of New Haven, St. Bernadette School, St. Francis and St. Rose of Lima School) merged into one entity at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year. All of the students of those schools were invited to attend All Saints Catholic Academy. The best of the traditions cherished at all three schools formed the foundation of ASCA.
The benefits of the All Saints Catholic Academy instructional model are numerous: students focus on communication and collaboration; they engage in hands-on, project-based assignments using the methods of engineering design; students become inquisitive thinkers, problem solvers and global citizens; and they learn how to care for one another, their community and their world.
