Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan All Saints is a single-session secondary school located in Jalan Teluk Likas of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. It is also known as All Saints Secondary School and SM All Saints for short. The school was opened in 1903 whereas Kota Kinabalu was Jesselton at that time, making it one of the oldest schools in Kota Kinabalu.
The current principal of the school is Tiong Ai Ping, who has occupied the post since November 2011. The school is also recognised as one of the leading secondary schools in the state. All Saints has been ranked amongst the top high-achieving schools in Sabah.
The school's motto is"Quod Facimus Id Perficimus" which means "What We Do We Carry Through" in Latin.
All Saints Secondary School is a part of the Anglican Diocese of Sabah. The development of Anglican Church schools was inspired by foreign settlers to provide education to their children. The Diocese also owns other secondary schools, primary schools and kindergartens in Sabah and also in West Malaysia.
All Saints has its origin in the year of 1903, it was built on 1 April 1903 as one of the earliest schools in Kota Kinabalu (Jesselton). Its humble beginning started in a borrowed government building that served as an office. The school was officially declared open by His Excellency Birch and Lady Birch on 22 December 1903 and it was named King Edward VII School after the reigning King of Great Britain.
King Edward VII School at that time, under the charge of Mr. Chai Ah Soon, was basically a one-man show, for he doubled as the headmaster and form teacher. It started with only about 30 students, all boys and mostly Chinese, in the school and they are divided into 5 groups ranging from standard one to five. The students learned simple arithmetic, English grammar, reading, writing and Bible study. On 25 May 1905, the boys of the school were invited to participate in sports events organized by the Police Department. This marked the beginning of sports in the school.
Mr. Chai Ah Soon, as the principal and class teacher, his main concern was undoubtedly on the academics. But the school was multi-functional. It was also used to hold divine services. Besides, meetings and social functions were held in King Edward VII School as it was difficult to find suitable premises in Jesselton for these purposes. Later, on 1 September 1909, King Edward VII School was moved to a land at Karamunsing, granted by the Court of Directors of the British North Borneo Company. The site of the school was moved to Karamunsing in 1910. The new school was built of wood, on stilts over the swamp.
