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.

There’s something special about a K–8 school. Today, our 2nd and 7th grade students came together as younger learners shared their Spanish stories—and older students listened, encouraged, and celebrated their work.
These connections across grade levels are a cornerstone of our community. Younger students gain confidence and role models to look up to, while older students grow as leaders, mentors, and friends.

We recently welcomed University of Michigan experts to lead a dynamic evening for Emerson families around one of today’s biggest parenting topics: smartphones. Through interactive activities and honest conversations, parents and students worked side by side to create healthy, balanced approaches to technology use.
This event reflects Emerson’s deep commitment to the whole child and our specialization in guiding students through these pivotal years. As a K–8 school, we empower families with the tools and support they need to help children thrive in and beyond the digital world.

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.
