Ransom Everglades School

A Private School With A Public Purpose

6th - 12th Grade 

Ransom Everglades combines rigorous college preparation with a commitment to leaving the world better than we found it. From the school’s earliest days, Biscayne Bay has been the center of student life, the setting for everything from science classes to sailing and kayaking. Stewardship of nature remains a core value. Every freshman receives a compass and is taught how to use it. Learning to navigate unfamiliar environments has always been a key part of a Ransom Everglades education, whether the challenge is physical, academic or ethical. Developing leadership capabilities is equally important and, at RE, leadership is defined as creating opportunities for others. All of our students participate in service programs — many of which are conceived and led by students. Ransom Everglades blends tradition and innovation to create a seven-year academic experience that is ambitious and appropriate at each age level. As students advance through the integrated curriculum, they apply their knowledge and skills to increasingly challenging problems across disciplines. They learn to think outside the box, seek different perspectives, collaborate, debate ideas and solutions, and defend their work.
