Apply to The Elisabeth Morrow School

Dear Prospective Families,

Welcome to The Elisabeth Morrow School.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our community. Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most meaningful decisions a family makes, and we are honored that you are considering EMS as your partner in that journey.

At The Elisabeth Morrow School, we believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, challenge, joy, and a deep sense of belonging. From our youngest learners through eighth grade, students are known, nurtured, and inspired by exceptional educators who cultivate intellectual growth, character, creativity, and confidence. Grounded in our enduring values of Courtesy, Consideration, Cooperation, and Compassion, our students learn that academic excellence and strong character go hand in hand. These 4 C’s are woven into daily life at EMS, shaping not only how students learn, but how they lead, build relationships, and contribute to the world around them.

As you explore our website, I encourage you to discover the many resources available to help you learn about our school. Our Academic Program offers an overview of the exceptional educational experience that defines EMS, while our interactive Curriculum Guide provides a closer look at the skills, concepts, and experiences that shape each child’s journey from early childhood through middle school.

I also invite you to explore our outstanding Secondary School Placement program, which reflects the strength of an EMS education and the individualized guidance each student receives as they prepare for high school. For families considering the investment of an independent school education, our Tuition and Affording an EMS Education pages provide information about tuition, tuition assistance, and our commitment to making an EMS education accessible to talented and deserving students from a wide range of backgrounds.

While our website offers a glimpse into life at EMS, nothing compares to experiencing our community in person. I hope you will visit our beautiful campus, meet our exceptional faculty, and see firsthand the joyful classrooms, meaningful relationships, and engaging learning experiences that make Elisabeth Morrow such a special place.

My team and I look forward to getting to know your family, answering your questions, and guiding you through every step of the admissions process. Set up a time to talk with us by using our contact form, calling 201-568-5566 ext. 7212, or emailing admissions@elisabethmorrow.org. Thank you again for considering The Elisabeth Morrow School. We hope to welcome you to campus soon and share all that makes an EMS education so distinctive.

Warmly,
Esther Lee
Director of Enrollment Management
