Need a space to spread out and get some work done with classmates? Or maybe to just catch up with friends after the weekend and goof around? You’re in luck! In the Ellis Upper School, each grade has their own lounge that is a space reserved just for their class. The communal spaces house lockers, benches, and couches so you can plug in or tune out.

#EllisGirls love food. And at Ellis, there’s not just lunch, there’s snack. Every morning at snack, #EllisGirls have the chance to catch up with classmates, try the latest concoction from the kitchen, and fuel their bellies and brains for classes ahead. Believe us when we say, you didn’t know you always needed an additional meal between breakfast and lunch until you get used to snack.
