Our Goals

  • Champion the Ellis Mission

    We share how Ellis empowers girls to be bold, authentic, and intellectually fearless. Every interaction is an opportunity to show how our values—curiosity, confidence, and community—come to life on campus every day.
  • Supporting Families

    Applying to a new school should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Our team provides supportive communication to make the process simple, approachable, and personal—so every family feels confident and informed.
  • Cultivate Belonging

    We seek to welcome families from all backgrounds who share our belief in the transformative power of an all-girls education. Every student at Ellis is seen, supported, and celebrated for who she is.

    We believe that the right school is where your daughter can grow into her fullest self. Our goal is to help families discover how Ellis can be that place—where curiosity leads, confidence grows, and friendships flourish.
