Miss Edgar's & Miss Cramp's School

Miss Edgar’s and Miss Cramp’s School (ECS) was founded in 1909 by two trailblazing educators, Maud Edgar and Mary Cramp. Today we continue in their legacy, believing that education is a powerful tool for social progress. Rooted in traditions of excellence and guided by the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders, an ECS education is forward-thinking, affirming and addressing the realities of our changing world. An ECS education gives each student ownership over her learning process. We include her voice and choice as tools of empowerment allowing her to become the most resilient, confident, and creative version of herself. Our commitment to academic excellence is coupled with an emphasis on whole-girl wellness and enhanced by opportunities in athletics, the arts, and community service. From our beginning, ECS has been based upon the motto Non Nobis Sed Urbi Et Orbi, which translates to Not for Ourselves Alone, but for the City and the World. Grounded in this philosophy, we nurture in each student the responsibility to use her unique skills and talents to serve her community and world. Through bold leadership, courageous innovation rooted in research, and authentic engagement, ECS values and stewards each girl’s distinct journey.
