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 2^nd-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.
