Ensworth is a co-educational school where students in kindergarten through twelfth grades are nurtured and respected as individuals, challenged to become life-long learners, and inspired to be active contributors to any community of which they are apart. At the heart of every great School is an exceptional faculty committed to guiding students as they explore their potential in a broad range of contexts. This is the case at Ensworth. Whether through our challenging curriculum, our diverse fine arts offerings, or our robust athletic program, students and teachers engage in a learning process that is second to none. By being an independent school, Ensworth has the freedom to provide a curriculum based on current best practices in education and to assess student performance in authentic, meaningful ways, which prepares our students exceptionally well for success in college and beyond. The School promotes academic excellence and inspires students to be intellectually curious, use their talents to the fullest, be people of integrity, and contribute to society. We envision a school community dedicated to following the highest principles with the greatest love: moral integrity, intellectual vitality, discipline, compassion, humor, and joy. We envision a school where a deep sense of community and belonging pervades all aspects of school life, where all members participate in a broad array of diverse activities both in and out of the classroom, and where collaboration, integration, and tradition thrive. We envision a school committed to growth and learning for all members of its community, as reflected in communication that is open, honest, and direct, in decision-making that is inclusive, flexible, and efficient, in school governance that is clear and transparent, in practices that honor the diversity of mind, and in opportunities for faculty development and innovation as fundamental components of their professional responsibilities. And we envision a school that reaches beyond itself to its broader community embraces service opportunities, and serves as a leader in the national educational community. In order to realize the goals of our Mission and Vision, Ensworth must actively strive to be a diverse and inclusive community of learners that engages collectively In Search of Truth. The presence of different perspectives and life experiences plays a vital role in developing our students, enhancing classroom and extracurricular experiences in meaningful ways. As a school, we are committed to cultivating an environment in which all members of the Ensworth community experience a real sense of belonging and are empowered to be active participants in the life of the School. These efforts are essential if we are to foster all students' growth in line with their potential and equip them for lives of purpose that extend far beyond their time at Ensworth. Ensworth believes that coeducation impacts and enriches the educational experience of our students. A coeducational setting promotes mature social and emotional development, providing students with an advantage during their school years that will carry throughout their adult lives. Recognizing our critical role in preparing students for the real world, our classrooms bring together both genders, helping students understand that girls and boys are different yet equal. Every day Ensworth students have interactions that challenge and allow them to realize how gender might influence one's perspective, which also helps them understand that problems are best approached with consideration of differing worldviews. We believe that coeducation improves the ways students think, learn, and collaborate. Children can develop confidence, empathy, understanding, and leadership among both genders as they navigate social and emotional growth challenges while encouraging success in one another. Ensworth equips students for life beyond the classroom by offering a coeducational environment where youth develop the character, understanding, and skills necessary for the future. Learning, growth, and development occur both inside and outside the classroom at Ensworth. We stand on a holistic, balanced program with expansive offerings that reflect the wide range of talents and passions within our community. We wholeheartedly believe the school-age years should be enriching and fulfilling. That is why we provide an experience where students have the freedom to take risks, explore interests, and individual fuel passion. Curiosity is encouraged, and triumph is within reach as students push their creative limits and flourish in their gifts.
