We take education personally.
At Emerson, your child’s curiosity shapes their experience enabling remarkable growth.
We focus on the unique complexity of your child to elevate their innate enthusiasm for even deeper learning. The more our team learns, the more inspired they become to provide what’s needed to keep your child’s engagement high. Emerson students realize how great school, their teachers, and they can be.
At Emerson, we believe that when a student’s curiosity, intellect, interests, and identity are allowed to shape their learning experience, a whole new level of possibility is revealed. We’ve purposefully designed an innovative approach and a specialized environment that nurtures each child’s natural talents, builds on their strengths, and elevates their enthusiasm, enrichment, and excitement to match the very heights of their potential.
Emerson is structured into three distinct divisions, each designed to cater to the unique developmental stages of our students. This ensures that every child receives the appropriate support and challenges necessary for their growth.
Young Fives through 3rd grade
The Foundation division nurtures young learners from Young Fives through 3rd grade, laying a strong academic and social-emotional base.
Grades 4 through 6
The Bridge division guides students in grades 4 through 6, fostering independence and critical thinking during this crucial transitional period.
Grades 7 and 8
The Capstone division prepares 7th and 8th graders for high school with advanced academics, leadership opportunities, and personal growth.
Here are some numbers that we think are pretty important.

Our 5th-grade students are bringing their creativity and business savvy to life at Open Market! As part of their year-long economics study, they develop business plans, set pricing strategies, and market their products to their peers. Recently, our 1st and 2nd graders joined as enthusiastic customers, creating a wonderful opportunity for cross-grade collaboration. This is another example of how our older students step into leadership roles—modeling responsibility, decision-making, and community-minded citizenship for their younger peers.
The mission of Emerson School is to provide a dynamic and nurturing learning environment that fosters empathy, communication, creativity, leadership, and above all, a lifelong love of learning.
We fulfill our mission with small class sizes, by providing individualized attention across a broad and rich, student-centered curriculum and through a committed, talented team of educators who help children achieve sustained academic success.
