History
History
- Ransom Everglades School is one of the most respected and significant private schools in Florida, with AdvancED status in the Southern States College Association, as well as membership in the Southern and National Associations for College Admissions Counseling, the National Association of Independent Schools, the Board of Entrance Examinations in college and others.
- Ransom Everglades has special programs for gifted children. The educational institution takes part in various scientific and public projects, donates money to victims of natural disasters, and finances environmental projects.
Paul K. Ransome, a New York City educator and lawyer, opened Pine Knot Camp in 1896 as a boys' school in the Coconut Grove area. In 1902, he merged it with the Adirondacks campus of New York to create the Adirondack-Florida School, the first migration boarding school. Ransome took a curriculum based on the experiential current. Students attended campus classes in Florida during the winter and in New York during the fall and spring. The school suspended teaching during World War II. But it reopened in 1947.
In 1949, the Adirondack campus was closed and the school continued in Coconut Grove as an all-boys school.
Ransom Everglades School was formed in 1974 in Miami as a result of the merger of Ransom School and Everglades School (the Everglades School for Girls, opened in 1955. It was founded by Marie B. Swenson) into a single educational institution with a co-educational program. The school continues to be influenced and guided by the values of its founders. About 20% of Ransome Everglades Private School students are foreigners or have a mother tongue other than English.
