Definition

  • The Ethical Culture School is a historical curriculum model based on the work of its seminal influence, Felix Adler, and is an organic alternative for education in the United States as a Sunday school program of study, a private school option at Fieldston Ethical Culture School in New York, and as a charter school option in New Jersey. Adler, graduate of Columbia College with a doctorate from the University of Heidelberg, merged Kantian idealism with elements of U.S. Transcendentalism to develop a theophilosophic statement that he promoted by founding the Society for Ethical Culture in 1876.
