The Learning Center, an integral part of Fieldston, provides support to students in 6th–8th Grades who have learning difficulties and/or disabilities. We provide support in a variety of ways including pushing into classrooms, small groups, and one on one. Students are also encouraged to meet with their teachers on an as-needed basis.

In addition, our role is to be a resource to faculty, administrators, parents/guardians, and the entire ECFS community. Referrals to the Learning Center can come from teachers, students, Deans, or parents/guardians.

The Learning Center provides help in several ways, including:

  • Collaborating with faculty and administrators about learning issues and how to address them in the classroom;
  • Coordinating and consulting with the School’s psychologists and outside tutors;
  • Collaborating with the Learning Styles Committee of the P+T;
  • Communicating relevant information from educational evaluations to teachers and oversees in-school accommodations;
  • Acting as a liaison with the SAT and ACT coordinator for students with disabilities who need test accommodations.
Ethical Culture Fieldston School offers a world-class progressive education in Pre-K–12th Grade at two historic campuses in Manhattan and the Bronx. The core of our educational program is the study and practice of ethics, which prepares us — and compels us — to take care of our world, ourselves, and each other.
