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 Bronx. Both Ethical Culture and Fieldston Lower have automatic admission into Fieldston Middle.

Located directly across from Central Park, Ethical Culture uses its environment and surroundings as lenses to engage students in Pre-K through 5th Grade. The Social Studies curriculum provides the starting point for all subjects. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice are woven into each study.

At ECFS, social and academic curricula are equally important. Each grade designs its curriculum to present our students with the skills that they will need for the 21st century, specifically cognitive, interpersonal, and intrapersonal skills. Through engaging lessons and activities, students learn about each other as individuals and as members of the larger class and school community while simultaneously engaging in their studies of Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts. Our constant goal is to foster their motivation, participation, and learning.

As students progress through the grades, they learn additional subjects in Specials Classes taught by teachers who specialize in a given discipline. These Specials — including Art, Ethics, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies Workshop — complement the learning that happens in students’ homeroom classes.
