Known simply as "Fieldston", the school was established in 1878 by Felix Adler who spearheaded the Ethical Culture Movement, himself a graduate of Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School. Fieldston has long-been associated with the secular Jewish community in New York City but welcomes pupils of all creeds and none. The school is well-regarded as academically rigorous and competes athletically in the Ivy Preparatory School League.
