Summary: Ross School prepares children for meaningful lives and active participation in the global community at a time of monumental, rapid-paced change. We aim to help students understand their needs and responsibilities in this place and time, relative to the past, in order to prepare for and embrace the future. We are dedicated to providing the best possible education for our own students while exchanging information about integrated curriculum development, teaching strategies, and school organization with other schools all over the world. We are part of a growing network of students, teachers, school leaders, and mentors of all ages and backgrounds, at locations around the globe, working and learning together.

Ross School’s unique curriculum is based on world cultural history and the evolution of consciousness. The curriculum interweaves knowledge in an integrated manner, incorporating skills and content from all disciplines. Because history is studied in a continuous and consecutive thread, students are equipped with a narrative that accounts for significant historical shifts leading up to the major transformation of the present time. The narrative and the integrated nature of the curriculum provide students with tools and opportunities for exploring and solving problems in a holistic manner.

Ross School focuses on educating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit, with daily programs in health and wellness. Our teaching methods are informed by the theory of Multiple Intelligences developed by Dr. Howard Gardner and the latest developments in curriculum design, pedagogy, and communications technologies. The teachers, who come from a variety of cultures and professions, collaborate with one another and with experts from around the world to create engaging, progressive curricular units for the students.

Ross School offers honors-level coursework that matches or exceeds the rigor of an Advanced Placement course. Students are able to sit for the AP exams if they choose. In the spring of 2017, 58 students took 76 AP exams in 13 different subjects. Of those tests, 64% earned a 3 or above, and 34% earned a 4 or 5.

Summary: The boarding program is a wonderful opportunity for students to prepare for the increased independence and responsibility of college academics and to share their own unique background and experiences with others. Weekends feature activities both on and off campus. Students follow the same daily program of study as day students. The boarding experience adds a new dimension of interaction, dialogue, cultural exchange, and learning for any student.

Boarding houses are designed to give students a home-like feeling, complete with spacious bedrooms, private bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and study rooms. Ross faculty house parents reside in the boarding houses to create a safe, welcoming living environment. The house parents are accessible to parents and work closely with both the Residential Life staff and teachers to ensure students are doing well.

Ross boarding students have a strong support network on which to rely, including house parents, faculty, ESOL teachers, and the Residential Life staff. Living in a boarding house with students from all over the world is an exciting and educational experience. For more information about boarding life at Ross, please contact [email protected]

Summary: The arts at Ross are an essential component of the core cultural history curriculum. Through integrated arts classes, students engage in their own art production while studying the artifacts, architecture, and performing arts of the cultures they explore. Ross students also have opportunities to pursue media studies and enroll in a variety of arts electives in music, theater, studio art, graphic design, photography, film, and museum studies.

Interscholastic athletics are also a key part of the Ross educational program, in which students are provided with challenges that inspire them to levels of achievement far past their perceived limits. Students are required to participate in at least one season of a team sport while at Ross, though many choose to participate and develop their athletic skills beyond that requirement. Ross partners with other local schools for some sports to field more competitive teams. In addition to promoting physical skill and coordination development, Ross coaches are responsible for teaching students appropriate attitudes toward citizenship, sportsmanship, and cooperation, as well as guiding them in developing self-discipline and positive self-esteem through their athletic endeavors.
