The Ethical Culture Fieldston School has four divisions spread across two historic campuses in Manhattan and the Bronx. Our two lower schools — Ethical Culture in Manhattan and Fieldston Lower in the Bronx — serve students in Pre-K–5th Grade. Fieldston Middle, for students in 6th–8th Grade, and Fieldston Upper, for students in 9th–12th Grade, are both located on our Fieldston campus in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx. Both Ethical Culture and Fieldston Lower have automatic admission into Fieldston Middle.

Our curriculum engages every aspect of a student’s development — intellectual, creative, artistic, physical, emotional, and social. Teachers utilize the Riverdale campus’s outdoor spaces as well as New York City’s resources to create a diverse learning community. These experiences equip students with the skills to learn collaboratively both inside and outside of school.

With a focus on inclusion, ethics, and equity, ECFS integrates subjects to create a dynamic learning environment that encourages critical thinking, social-emotional growth, and a joy for learning. Students are empowered to take intellectual risks, develop leadership skills, and embrace mindfulness, preparing them to thrive as active, ethical contributors to their communities.

A well-rounded experience — including rigorous academics leading to advanced electives, arts, athletics, and community service — ensures that every ECFS student is equipped to lead a thoughtful, purposeful life.
