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.

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!

Each project reflects their growing understanding of how animals adapt to their surroundings. We love seeing their excitement for science come to life!
Our 3rd-grade QUEST Science students have been diving into the wonders of the food chain!
