Info
I graduated last year from Fieldston, having attended since kindergarten at Ethical Culture. I cannot express how grateful I am to have received an education there, as I feel that I was not only nurtured as a student but as a thinker, and generally fostered an interest in, what I can only assume will ...  Read more

My daughter is a recent graduate of Fieldston high school. She received a first rate education there, but also flourished there socially, athletically and artistically. Fieldston offers a wealth of opportunities beyond the classroom with a gorgeous campus that includes state of the art athletic facilities ...  Read more

Though many would beg to differ because of it's liberalism, Fieldston in under-ratedly the most rigorous of the 'ivy league' high schools. It demands an incredible work load from all of its students not to mention the intensive classes move at a pace more rapid then the majority of the other schools ...  Read more

Academically rigorous; but teachers really teach and care about student progress. Many teachers are world class. Class sizes are very small; programs are very individualized. Writing is emphasized. Exceptionally good theater and music programs. Diverse for a new york private school and diverse students ...  Read more

Fieldston is an outstanding school. Though some departments are weaker than others overall I am very glad that was the high school I attended. The parents tend to be involved but not the overbearing constantly involved parents that don't give their children the space to blossom and grow. The campus is ...  Read more

Fieldston has an amazing theater program. It is a beautiful school that is strong acedemically and in all other areas. If you wish to be involved in sports, community service or art Fieldston is your school. Anything your child is interested in, Fieldston excels in. The preparation for college is beyond ...  Read more

After completing my undergraduate and graduate education, I would say that Fieldston gave me the best education. They strongly encourage creative thinking. Simply repeating the information is not enough to get a good grade. You must expand on the teacher's thoughts and 'think outside the box.' I look ...  Read more

Although Fieldston has a Multi-Cultural Department, it's connections with both the minority parents and students seems to be lacking. The head of the Schools also has little to no accessibility, and he is typically very rarely seen.
