From Emerson School

We believe that school doesn’t have to be boring; that if we challenge, excite, nurture, and engage the whole child, we can inspire a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

Here, what’s best for children drives the curriculum—not tests. It’s where passionate educators are empowered to teach, and intimate classrooms are places of joy, exploration, and respect for one another. It’s where bright students learn to tap into their curiosity and search for answers, rather than memorize them.

Emerson is a special environment where smart is cool, and classrooms are comprised of other gifted, unique peers who help and encourage each other to become their best. It’s where bright students thrive, and we encourage you to learn more about how our school might benefit your child.

Emerson School Reviews

After three years, we continue to say that we love this school! The teachers make an effort to really understand our kids and their learning styles and approaches. The teachers are also able to work with our kids in recognizing their interests but encouraging them to try new things. Yes, the small class size allows this type of interaction and, yes, we do have to pay tuition. But if your child is neurodiverse and differently wired, they will be at home here. Families are from many different socioeconomics and educational backgrounds. It is not elitist. The culture is one of respect and kindness.

Emerson is about so much more than academic excellence, which is the reason we originally chose this school. It is a caring community of educators who truly love my children, are passionate about teaching, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Equally important, Emerson teachers build character in our children by reinforcing values that we teach at home-- respect, honesty, inclusion, cooperation, integrity, commitment, compassion, and gratitude. We couldn't be happier with this outstanding school and the wonderful families who are part of this community.

Sending my son to Emerson was the best decision we could make for his education. He was getting lost at the pubic school. No one seemed to care about challenging him in the classroom. He was bored. When we moved him to Emerson, he was challenged at every turn. The teachers took time to get to know his learning style, cared about his growth and inspired him to push himself. During COVID, Emerson stepped up and immediately launched a vibrant, interactive online learning platform and I could not have been more pleased with the transition. They did not miss a beat. My son (who is in middle school) was engaged in a daily routine, talking to his friends and teachers and this helped him make the difficult transition to lockdown. This routine gave him stability. I kept saying to my husband,"I am so glad he is at Emerson. I am so glad he is at Emerson." Emerson was the best decision, the best investment in my son's education. I only wish they had a high school.
