All Saints’ Episcopal School in Vicksburg, Miss., has retained two real estate companies to sell the school’s property and contents. The college preparatory school, founded in 1908, did not accept students for this school year.

The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion Ledger cited a written statement from Ken Mann, a partner with Pasadena, Md.-based Equity Partners, Inc., which described the campus as being “ideally suited to house a boarding school, or a satellite location of a university, but would be equally fitting for other uses such as a conference center or camp facility.” Mozingo Real Estate and Auctions of Gulfport, Miss., is also contracting with the school, according to the published report.

Originally a women’s college, All Saints’ later became a co-ed boarding and day school serving some 200 students annually in grades 7-12. Financial considerations forced school officials to announce the planned closing of the school in 2003, but it remained open when parents and alumni responded positively to a last-ditch appeal from the board of trustees.
