At EMS, we balance social and emotional growth and academic rigor.
The school environment is engineered to build confidence and self-awareness in our students. Our students see risk as an opportunity to learn. Their ideas are valued, and our students can put what they learn to use, develop a deep sense of themselves, and discover passions that will become the underpinning of a fulfilling life.
At The Elisabeth Morrow School, children grow into new experiences, starting in Chilton House and culminating up the hill in Morrow House.
Our indoor/outdoor approach to educational spaces sets EMS apart.
Our curricula support the observation and exploration of nature. The entire campus is a science lab.
The 14-acre campus is a certified wildlife habitat with nature trails, community gardens, a pond, a brook, three playgrounds, and outdoor patios.
A 5:1 student-teacher ratio ensures your child is always seen, heard, and known.
The collaboration between students and teachers at EMS made me believe that my opinion mattered and prompted me to consider different points of view. The confidence I developed in class is serving me well in life after EMS.
