	From The Classroom To The World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Established in 1878 by Felix Adler, the school and the progressive education movement it embodied were dedicated to the transformation of society through moral education based on humanist values, with adherence to no sectarian creed.
		For all four, the school's enduring humanist philosophy was a touchstone throughout their careers, leading to significant bodies of work, spanning American modernism from 1900 to 1970, and showing the social, documentarian, and psychological value of the camera-made image in culture and art.
		Today, the Ethical Culture Fieldston School serve 1,600 students from pre-K to 12, on two campuses, one in Manhattan and one in Riverdale; the visual arts continues to be an essential part of the curriculum, and in the middle and high school alone, over 100 students can be found studying photography.

		It will be a free, public charter school for the children of families that embrace the ideals of ethics, service, and social justice together with a well-rounded education of academic studies, the arts, and the practical skills.
		Although some people mistakenly believe that charter schools “skim” the public school students most likely to achieve, the truth is that charter schools are not allowed to select their students and tend to have more low-income, minority, and “at-risk” students than the traditional public schools.

	High School Conundrum
		The Fieldston School in Riverdale eliminated its advanced placement courses several years ago to “make room” for its more eclectic array of elective course offerings.This was a controversial decision.
		But many of these schools are being downsized or even eliminated, often broken up into small “themed” schools.
		This idea of small high schools has been around for decades and a part of the city’s educational policy for 20 years.Small schools are favored by the “university institutional complex” that is the permanent government of the school system.

	Park Slope's Anti-War School - February 25, 2005 - The New York Sun
		The news that sixth-grade students at a Park Slope middle school were encouraged, as a class project, to mail letters to a soldier stationed in Korea, some of which turned out to be virulently anti-war diatribes hurtful to the GI, is a disturbing reminder of how easy it is to manipulate children for political ends.
		I wonder whether there were students in the class who support the war in Iraq but who felt pressured by their peers, or by the teacher, to participate.
		That is why the public schools must be free of this kind of politics.

	Shelving of Panel on Mideast Roils School
		When the principal of the elite Fieldston school notified parents by e-mail of an assembly that was to feature two Palestinian speakers, he said that it would further the school's "progressive reputation" and that the Palestinian viewpoint was one that "few of us, students or faculty, are familiar with or can claim to understand."
		On Tuesday, the high school's principal, John Love, sent another e-mail message canceling the event and explaining that the forum was "not appropriate given the sensitivity and complexity of the issue."
		Now the controversy is roiling Fieldston, a private school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx with a mission to provide a "rigorous and humanistic education" and a long history of sending graduates to the Ivy League.

	Felix Adler, Call Your Office - May 9, 2006 - The New York Sun
		If you were to walk on the lush, treelined 18-acre campus of the Fieldston School in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, you could imagine that you are on a campus of the Ivy League.
		But if Fieldston aspires to the best of university life for its students, it has regrettably also adopted some of the worst aspects of campus culture, a politically correct antagonism toward the Jewish state.
		But there is a clear desire on the part of the Fieldston administration to make sure that their students "get the message." A committee was appointed to schedule a more elaborate and presumably more balanced day-long presentation.

		As important as we all believe this issue is and as much as we hoped for from the assembly and the accompanying activities, the events of the last several days have persuaded me that the assembly forum we chose to launch this discussion was not appropriate given the sensitivity and complexity of the issue.
		The school withdrew its invitation to Qumsiyeh and scrapped the assembly.
		It would be interesting to see if the parents who agreed with Roth would welcome an assembly in which two people spoke of Intelligent Design, one addressing the literal truth of the Old Testament, the other positing the theory of the Almighty as watchmaker and the world and its population as teeth in the gears.

		On the protest line outside Fieldston, Arnold Stark, the father of two Fieldston alumni, said he wouldn’t give “another cent” to this school that he once supported, expressing his disappointment at discovering that Fieldston’s openness and diversity was a courtesy seemingly extended to everyone but Zionists like him.
