Ransom Everglades is an independent, co-educational day school serving grades six to twelve in Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida. It formed with the merger in 1974 of the Everglades School for Girls and the Ransom School for Boys. It's described as a college preparatory school and has a higher than average college matriculation rate for graduates. Admissions is competitive and tuition costs approximately $22,500 per year. Financial aid is available. Graduating classes tend to number between 150 and 175 students; most continue onto out of state colleges and universities. Despite its size, the school has a comprehensive athletic program including twenty two sports. Paul C. Ransom, an educator and New York lawyer, opened Pine Knot Camp in 1896 as a school for boys. In 1902 he combined that with a campus in the Adirondacks of New York to create the Adirondack-Florida School, the first two-campus boarding school. Students would attend classes in the Florida campus in the winter and New York campus in fall and spring. The school suspended operations during World War II. After the war the school reopened in 1947 without the Adirondack campus, continuing in Coconut Grove as the Ransom School
