Ethical Culture Fieldston School (ECFS) was founded in 1878 by Felix Adler. His educational vision - to develop individuals who will be competent to change their environment to greater conformity with moral ideals - is as important today as it was when ECFS was founded. We continue to realize that vision by exploring what it means to be an ethical and responsible member of society, valuing inclusion and economic and racial diversity, striving for academic excellence, and teaching students to become independent thinkers through progressive education. ECFS provides educational instruction for approximately 1,670 students in various classes from pre-kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Our school challenges students to reach their highest potential in body, mind and spirit through the humanities, sciences, the arts and physical education.

After more than 100 years, these three values could ring hollow, but they are solid at Fessenden and continue to be our guiding principles. From the Headmaster down, boys are taught, guided and supported by a community united by these common and timeless values. Boys may lose their way at times, but with the consistent guidance and example that adults provide in their academic, social and emotional lives at Fessenden, they find their path and grow stronger from the journey. Fessenden aims to develop well-rounded citizens. Academics are valued, of course, but many boys find that in addition to academics they learned important life lessons during their time at Fessenden.
