Ross School

Located in East Hampton and Bridgehampton, New York, Ross School was founded in 1991 by Courtney Sale Ross and Steven J. Ross. They recognized that preparing students to meet the challenges of the 21st century requires innovative models to transform education. Aided by the research of many educational pioneers and leading thinkers, Courtney Sale Ross and Steven J. Ross set out to expand upon some of the best practices in K-12 education, combining them with the notion that leadership in an increasingly connected and rapidly changing world demands cultivating a global perspective and embracing technology. As a result of this model, Ross School offers a complete and uniquely individual educational experience to over 560 students from Pre-Nursery through Grade Twelve.

The Ross educational experience at Ross School aims to impart to young people a 21st century skill set and the inspiration that will motivate them to keep their minds actively engaged in learning. Ross School offers a dynamic environment where students take an active role in their learning. Ross School also stresses direct personal experiences, inquiry through primary sources, and hands-on interpretation and analysis of information. Within a curricular framework based in world cultural history, classroom activities at Ross School are designed and presented to integrate the arts, writing, literature, health and well-being, and computer technology. Children learn that each domain (i.e., discipline) is a valid tool for exploring topics, addressing real-life situations, solving problems, making informed decisions, and expressing findings. The connections across disciplines at Ross School are highlighted both as reinforcement of the ideas presented and as a reflection of the nature of the world.

The Ross School mission is to change the way education meets the future; to foster interdisciplinary, integrated thinking and innovative leadership; to engage fully in the global community; and to facilitate lifelong learning.
