Founded in 1903, Ransom Everglades School is a coeducational, college preparatory day school for grades 6 - 12 located on two campuses in Coconut Grove, Florida. Ransom Everglades School produces graduates who "believe that they are in the world not so much for what they can get out of it as for what they can put into it." The mission of Ransom Everglades School is to provide an educational environment in which the pursuit of honor, academic excellence, and intellectual growth are complemented by concern for the physical, cultural, and character development of each student. The school provides rigorous college preparation that promotes the student's sense of identity, community, personal integrity, and values for a productive and satisfying life and prepares them to lead and contribute to society. A private institution with a public purpose, Ransom Everglades combines rigorous college preparation with a commitment to leaving the world better than we found it. From the days when the school split the year between the Adirondacks and Coconut Grove, Biscayne Bay has been the right-center of student life, setting everything from biology classes to sailing and kayaking. Stewardship of nature remains a core value. Every first-year student receives a compass and is taught how to use it during a five-day Outward Bound trip to the Everglades. Learning to navigate unfamiliar environments has always been a vital 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. Almost all of our students participate in service programs — many of which are conceived, funded, staffed, and led by students.
