i've been here for summer camp. It is an all girls summer camp and it's absolutely amazing. They have different electives that you can sign up for and you can request to be with different friends that you wanna be with. They have showcase every two weeks on a Friday the last day and the dancers and singers perform and much more! read more

I graduated from EW in '61-and have written the Class Notes for my class (and much of the alums who have graduated and crossed my path since then) for nearly 50 years. When people ask why i went to EW, my first two responses are as follows: I wanted to get out of the house (and my parents, who were ill suited to me, wanted me out) and it was the only school that took Jews in those days. (There are those who dispute this, but the point is that they did take JEws and there were plenty of New England girls boarding schools that didnot). My experience at EW was overall absolutely fantastic-and the fact that I established very close relationships with women, whom I have continued to keep in touch with for lo these many years, has been an enormous source of gratification and insight. As mybrother said, I know these women better than they know themselves." At EW in my day we wore uniforms that were handmade for us by Georgia Curtis of Fairfield, Ct. They consisted of gingham dresses for day wear and brown oxfords, with single colored dresses for dinner, with heels and stockings. I also came to EW with the requisite ll white handkerchiefs and a few hats which were required for the Obligatory Chapel. Although I graduated nearly 50 years ago , there are some thing about EW that have not changed: there is a commitment to excellence and a standard that is extraordinarily high While the School may like to think it is diversity personaified (and in it s way it is), there is a 'type' of girl who will be happy at EW-it is impossible for me to clearly state in a succinct manner what this is: but one thing I feel strongly about, is that EW girls are not what you might think of when you describe women who may come from money and priviledge-the EW gal is generally neither snobbish nor stoopid. While financial assistance is definitely part of the guiding principles behind EW, it still takes a certain type of person who is wiling to leave home and co exist with women in a boarding school atmosphere-not everyone, regardless of their economic circumstances, can find a situation of rules, women and je ne sais quois easy to handle. read more
