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.
Here are some numbers that we think are pretty important.

Throwback Thursday: Lunar New Year Parade 🎉🐉
Our Chinese World Language students lit up the hallways during this year`s Lunar New Year Costume Parade! Dressed in traditional attire from throughout Chinese history, students made their way to the all-school assembly they helped lead—complete with vibrant drumming and a festive dragon dance. A joyful celebration of culture, community, and creativity!
From concept to creation, our 4th graders built entire cities from the ground up! Last week, they welcomed families and friends into their imagined worlds—complete with original maps, flags, writing, commercials, AI-generated images, and sustainable design elements. We’re so proud of the creativity, collaboration, and communication these students demonstrated as they brought their ideas to life and shared them with the Emerson community.
Our third graders weave together art, science, and history in a year-long Pure Michigan project, culminating in a vibrant community event that showcases their creativity and curiosity. This interdisciplinary journey invites students to explore Michigan`s natural and cultural landscape through research, artistic expression, and collaborative storytelling. It`s one of many ways Emerson brings learning to life—by engaging students in meaningful, hands-on experiences that deepen understanding and spark lasting connections.
We were thrilled to welcome @mad_science_detroit to campus for a day of curiosity and discovery! Their team led two dynamic assemblies and brought hands-on science fun to all of our students. From eye-popping experiments to interactive learning, Mad Science turned our auditorium into a laboratory of wonder.

Before spring break, our 3rd graders welcomed special guests from @mackinac_parks Through three engaging programs, students deepened their understanding of Michigan’s past while working on their bigger interdisciplinary Pure Michigan Project.
This experience beautifully reflects Emerson’s commitment to hands-on learning and meaningful connections to bring classroom studies to life.

For the fourth straight year—and the fifth time since 2017—Emerson School has claimed the Michigan Quiz Bowl State Championship! Competing against top teams from across the state, Emerson’s A team (pictured) finished first, while Emerson’s B team took third, with their only loss coming against their own schoolmates. To top it off, an Emerson student was the top individual player at the tournament!
This isn’t just a win—it’s a dynasty. And we’re not stopping here. Both teams now turn their focus to the National Championship in May, where they will take on the best academic teams in the country. Join us in celebrating this incredible achievement and cheering them on as they prepare for nationals!
Our 1st grade QUEST Science students have been diving into the world of animal habitats! Through curiosity and creativity, they’ve built detailed dioramas showcasing environments from deserts to rainforests. Each project reflects their growing understanding of how animals adapt to their surroundings. We love seeing their excitement for science come to life!
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.
