Ethical Culture Fieldston School

To cap off a year of ingenuity and invention, Fieldston Middle 8th Graders faced off against a panel of “sharks” to pitch products created in Engineering class!

The project pairs the design thinking skills students practice in Engineering with real-world math and public speaking skills, as students prototype a product, complete a valuation of their mock business, and present a compelling sales pitch to a panel of peers, teachers, and other ECFS community members. Head to the link in our stories to read more about the project!

From reminiscing on the new friendships they forged in Fieldston Upper to reminding their fellow graduates to pause, breathe, and enjoy the memories of their time at ECFS, our Commencement 2026 student speakers filled the Quad with thoughtful and celebratory reflections.

Missed the livestream? Hudson, Saskia, and Kiran’s full speeches are now available to watch on the ECFS YouTube channel!

Fieldston Lower 1st Graders culminated their year-long Bird Study with their very own Bird Museum, bringing together their research, artistic abilities, and public speaking skills into an exciting and interactive exhibit!

On Saturday, we celebrated the Class of 2021 at their 5 Year Reunion! It was a beautiful evening filled with incredible conversation, reconnections with classmates and teachers, and memories of their time at Fieldston. We can’t wait to do it again in five years!

Class of 2021, we’re so excited to welcome you back tomorrow for your 5 Year Fieldston Reunion! Join us at The Gin Mill to celebrate five years since graduation, reconnect with your classmates, and reminisce on your favorite Fieldston memories. We can’t wait to see you!

Yesterday, we celebrated graduation for the 5th Grade classes of Ethical Culture and Fieldston Lower! We sent both classes off with singing, speeches, and skits that celebrated the unique experience these students have had in their time at ECFS. These special events mark a transition in students’ lives as our community members recognize the leadership they’ve brought to our Lower Divisions and wish them well as they move on to become middle schoolers. Congratulations to our graduates!

8th Graders are moving up!

Yesterday, we celebrated the Class of 2030 as they officially moved from Fieldston Middle to Fieldston Upper. We remembered their remarkable achievements throughout their time in middle school, the memories they shared as a class, and the indelible impact they’ve left on the community. Congratulations, Class of 2030! We can’t wait to see what comes next.

On Saturday, we welcomed Fieldston Alumni from classes ending in 1’s and 6’s back to campus for their Fieldston Reunion!

Alumni swapped stories, poured over yearbooks and photo albums, and reminisced about the good memories they had on campus. As the sun set, the Class of 1976 even treated us to an impromptu rendition of “Iam Canamus,” which rang out over the Quad. Moments like these wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our reunion volunteers and Fieldston Alumni Network. Eagles, we loved having you back. See you in 5 years!
