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.

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 School is truly a special place. Before I toured, I had no idea schools like this existed. The care and passion for teaching children is amazing. The teachers are top notch. They treat children with respect and seek to understand them on a deeper level. This respect is so important for children who are deep thinkers, critical thinkers and have a sense of when they are being treated fairly. My child could not have been happier when moved from Ann Arbor Public Schools to Emerson. My child had started to dislike school, was bored, and started acting out against the rigid behavior expectations. Now, my child feels accepted and enjoys building trust with caring teachers who understand a student with unique intricacies. My child seemed to immediately fit in with the amazing students already at the school. It's a welcoming environment and the kids are all curious to learn not only from the teachers but also from each other.

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.
