Mission

Guided by the words of Paul C. Ransom, Ransom Everglades School produces graduates who “believe that they are in the world not so much for what they can get out of it as for what they can put into it.”

Ransom Everglades School prepares students for a lifelong journey of learning, the call to service, and the responsibility to lead in an environment that fosters academic and co-curricular excellence as well as social wellbeing.

The school’s caring faculty and staff empower students to explore their passions, discover their strengths, and develop their character so they can pursue their ambitions and lead purposeful lives.
