Ethical Culture Fieldston School
 United States  / New York  |  Children/Education

The ideal of the school is to develop individuals who will be competent to change their environment to greater conformity with moral ideals.

In 1878, Felix Adler, educator and social reformer, had a vision to provide students access to an education regardless of a family's income in an environment where they would be challenged to reach their highest potential in mind, body, and spirit. Over the years, ECF has evolved into a vibrant community of learners where teachers and students are not only exposed to a rich academic, arts, and athletics program, but also are asked to become well-versed in issues of social justice, to consider how they make ethical decisions, and to truly appreciate the differences of others. From the youngest students learning about respect and sharing to the oldest students grappling with their roles as leaders, all students are encouraged to think independently, to formulate their own questions, and to take risks in our vibrant and nurturing community.
