First-graders Build Their Own Towns

After considering what a community needs, our first-grade students in Little School each created a box town for a project called “Kidtown.” They identified the buildings needed in their neighborhood, built their own “home” (apartment or house) and any other buildings they felt were important, such as a school, grocery store, and police station. Before construction began, the students went on a variety of virtual field trips with people in the Englewood community (Englewood Hospital and the Englewood Police Department, to name a few) and gathered information about why these places are important in a community. With the help of cardboard boxes, glue, and paint — TA-DA! — Kidtown was created!

There's No Better Time to Support Your Child's Education

Every time you donate to one of Elisabeth Morrow's dedicated funds, you help enrich the daily experiences of our community on campus. STEAM spaces are improved, library catalogues expanded, scholarships are funded, and teachers are hired. Every day, you can see the impact your generous donations have on campus.

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.
