Where Wonder Ignites Deep Learning

Chilton House, home of our early learning division, is where the foundations of academic excellence begin. Named for Constance Chilton, co-founder of The Elisabeth Morrow School and its pioneering first director, this learning environment is alive with joy, curiosity, and purpose. Here, children are immersed in intellectually rich experiences that develop a strong foundation of early reading, writing, mathematical reasoning, and scientific inquiry. These critical years set the stage for deep academic engagement, while also shaping habits of mind and heart. As students collaborate, problem-solve, and explore diverse cultures and perspectives, they develop a strong sense of self, empathy for others, and a growing belief that they are infinitely capable, infinitely creative, and infinitely intelligent.

EMS prepares students for an impressive range of top-tier secondary schools.
