The Ethical Culture Fieldston School offers a world-class progressive education in Pre-K–12th Grade at two historic campuses. The core of our educational program is the study and practice of ethics, which prepares and compels us to take care of our world, ourselves, and each other.
At ECFS, we don’t teach students what to think, what to question, or what to explore — but how to think, how to question, and how to explore. Our core tenets focus on the whole child, ensuring that education is responsive, relevant, experiential, and playful, among other traits.
With an enduring commitment to excellence, inclusion, and belonging, we inspire a varied and joyful community of passionate learners, critical thinkers, and ethical individuals who aim to make the world more humane and just.
We invite you to explore Ethical Culture Fieldston School’s two campuses in Manhattan and the Bronx.
