*The Ethel Streit School is an exciting new independent elementary school
in the Cincinnati area. We will open our doors in September 2015 for a
small group of 2nd-6th graders, and we are looking for like-minded
individuals to help build and grow our educational community.*



*Mission *

The Ethel Streit School is a deliberately diverse and collaborative
community that challenges students to take ownership of their learning. We
create a real-world, interdisciplinary context that fosters joyful
exploration and develops students’ natural curiosity, personal interests,
and individual potential. Ethel Streit graduates are critical thinkers,
problem solvers, and compassionate and dynamic citizens. Ethel Streit is a
place where a community of good friends and good citizens can develop and
thrive with the support of patient, passionate, supportive professionals.



*Core Beliefs *

·      Students thrive when they feel connected to what they are learning
and are able to contribute to a community

·      Strong communities are built on a foundation of respect for
diversity of thought, learning styles, personality, and culture

·      Because learning is individualized, teaching must be, as well.

·      The richest learning environment integrates physical, social,
emotional and cognitive lives

·      The Ethel Streit School is and will be a collaboration among
students, teachers, parents, and the community
