About Us

An individualized approach for real personal growth

From Young 5s through middle school, we partner closely with parents to meet each child where they are. We take them as far as they can go. We provide the best opportunities at all the right moments throughout these vital years. We connect thinking with feeling, growing and balancing both intelligence and the emotional intelligence that comprise a child’s whole self. Confidence, adaptability, and courage to explore are tempered with empathy and respectfulness. Students here love the adventure of challenge because they know they have the guidance and support to explore freely, think independently, and tackle problems through creativity and collaboration with equally enthusiastic and inquisitive classmates. At Emerson, children joyfully reach for their individual potential, and gain a deep love of learning that will continue to serve them throughout their education, and life.

Our Mission

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.

At Emerson, students develop the confidence and skills to become their best selves.

The values that drive us

Each child brings their own combination of intellect, emotion, social skills, and learning preferences to school with them every day. We commit to providing an innovative and caring environment that embraces their individuality, reveals opportunities, and accommodates needs, while focusing on their curiosity, creativity, empathy, resilience, and integrity. We promote self-reliance, self-discipline, positive self-awareness, and mutual respect. We embrace safe risk-taking and guided exploration. We teach basic skills and also encourage high-level thought. Every child is heard and understood. We believe the best way to learn is by doing, and that learning should be fun. We provide an atmosphere, culture, and community where children engage deeply to make the absolute most of their academic talents, and of themselves.

We develop leaders who make the world a better place by living and practicing the following core values:

Seeking out and learning from new ideas and information.

Using one’s mind and imagination to develop something new.

Understanding others and acting with good intent.

Successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences.

Being honest, trustworthy and ethical in our actions.

Our Equity & Social Justice Commitment

At Emerson, we empower our students to embrace their unique identity, value and celebrate the differences in others, and act with integrity.

By doing so, we prepare our students to excel academically and to be empathetic, responsible, and mindful citizens of the world.

At Emerson School, we believe diversity is a strength. Equity is our commitment, inclusion is our practice, and belonging is our culture

Accreditation & Associations

As an independent school, Emerson creates its own curriculum to challenge and educate students. We are not bound to standardized curriculums and mandates, eliminating any pressure to “teach to the test.” But to ensure Emerson continues to be an exceptional school, we have been independently evaluated and accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) since 1991.
