Our Approach

When a girl joins The Ellis School community, 她加入了一个非凡的学习者社区-女孩们对学习感到兴奋,对世界充满好奇, together with outstanding faculty who are not only experts in their subjects but who love teaching.
澳门新葡新京官方严格的学术课程为每个女孩提供了广泛学科的坚实基础-英语, history, mathematics, science, world languages, technology, 视觉和表演艺术,同时给她很多机会在她最感兴趣的领域进行更深入的探索. However, we do not believe rigor and balance are mutually exclusive. Small class sizes mean that every girl is well known by her teachers and classmates, allowing us to create learning experiences with the optimal balance of challenge and support for each girl.

Ellis faculty are second to none and bring a sophisticated understanding of how girls learn most effectively. Within our walls, you will discover an innovative, interdisciplinary, and experiential academic program constructed with girls in mind. This happens by design, in a learning environment where faculty invite students to wrestle with complex real-world challenges.

Empowerment

    • And that’s just the beginning.

      真正的奇迹之所以发生,是因为我们深深致力于提供能够建立强烈自我意识的体验, empathy, confidence, and leadership in girls.

Throughout their time at Ellis,

students develop a deep understanding of how they learn best. 他们还培养复杂的人际交往技巧,培养健康的人际关系,并赋予女孩为自己辩护的能力. 他们在合作中发展得很流畅,这为他们提供了充分的机会来展示他们作为领导者的实力.
Ellis girls graduate with a palpable passion for life and learning, a strong sense of their own voices, and the resilience and confidence they need to be successful in any future learning or work environment.
