Fieldston Middle students are given a Chromebook to use while at school, but they do need access to a computer with a web browser at home for schoolwork. The Financial Aid Office is limited to providing assistance for the purchase of Chromebooks for Fieldston Middle students. 

4th and 5th Graders at Ethical Culture and Fieldston Lower will need access to a computer with a web browser at home for schoolwork.

The Financial Aid Office is limited to providing assistance for the purchase of Chromebooks for elementary school students. 

Please contact Victoria Daley at [email protected] with any questions about financial assistance.
