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.

Nine of our students attended the Red Cedar Model UN conference at Michigan State University on February 22nd. They tackled global issues like climate change, extreme weather, African geopolitics, a historical presidential crisis, and safety in the Wonka factory. Four students earned individual awards, and the entire delegation won Best Small Delegation for the second year in a row! We’re incredibly proud of their hard work and achievements!
Our 5th graders got a hands-on lesson in heart and lung health during their visit to Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital for the "Healthy Hearts & Lungs 101" program! From exploring real hearts and lungs to learning about the importance of healthy habits, this experience brought science to life in an unforgettable way. A huge thank you to the incredible staff at Trinity Health for their hospitality and for inspiring our students to take care of their bodies!
Happy Valentine`s Day! Before we headed into Mid-Winter Break, our Student Council’s Valentine’s Day carnation fundraiser helped spread joy throughout our community. Whether gifted to a friend, teacher, or special someone, each flower symbolized kindness and connection.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated—your support helps fund Student Council initiatives and contributes to a special legacy gift for Emerson at the end of the year.
Fifth graders ended their QUEST-Tech studies in materials science and began to explore programming by creating South African-inspired baskets with Tinkercad, computer-aided design software. Students experimented with variables, loops, and changing parameters to explore how their choices affected the rendering of their basket. The end products are beautiful!
While our World Languages students in grades 5-8 led an incredible Lunar New Year celebration, our youngest learners also joined in the festivities! Kindergarten and 1st-grade students welcomed special guest speakers—Emerson parents—who shared stories and traditions of the holiday. They also participated in fun, hands-on activities that deepened their understanding of this vibrant celebration.
