Congratulations, Class of 2024!

Our graduating students were admitted to the most distinguished secondary day and boarding schools

“It’s no surprise that the most selective secondary day and boarding schools in the country continue to seek out our students. Each of our graduates has honed a set of competencies necessary for success today and well into the future. At EMS, these competencies — collaboration, innovation, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, effective oral and written communication, growth mindset, integrity, and self-efficacy — begin to take shape in our youngest students in the 2s program and develop throughout an academic journey that culminates in eighth grade. This intentional pathway for our students is “the EMS advantage,” and these essential competencies form our community’s shared Vision of the EMS Graduate.” — Marek Beck, Ph.D., Head of School

Our Students Stand Out from the Crowd

EMS cultivates independent, compassionate scholars who are comfortable with who they are, are discovering who they want to become, and are eager to contribute to their community. Our students excel in the classroom, developing a true love of learning, are engaged in athletics and arts, and grow into thoughtful and ethical leaders.

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

Our students cultivate the ability to learn, think, explore, empathize, and lead. They graduate with the ability, mindset, and competencies to navigate a global world and are well-prepared to face an unknowable future.

Accustomed to a challenging academic environment, EMS students welcome the demands of competitive secondary schools and are often placed in advanced sections where they perform very well.
