JUNE 21–25

Our students have had “triple the fun” at our exclusive, week-long arts, athletics, and adventure camps! Our SUMMER ARTS AND ATHLETICS ACADEMY, formerly known as Triple A, is designed for EMS instrumental musicians who will be entering kindergarten through ninth grade in the fall. This focused and intensive week-long summer program includes instrumental music lessons and ensembles, complemented by engaging athletic and artistic experiences to further develop your child’s love of music and learning. And let’s not forget our little ones! SUMMER ADVENTURE ACADEMY is geared specifically toward our students entering the 3s program through third grade who are interested in exploration and learning in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). Kids will participate in fun, engaging, and creative experiences. Either camp provides your child with the much-needed opportunity to be together with EMS classmates once the school year ends.

JUNE 28–AUGUST 6

SUMMER EXPLORATIONS welcomes students to our campus for six weeks of summer fun and learning! “After a year of uncertainties, we are certain that, this summer, students spending time at Summer Explorations will enjoy exploring personal interests, discovering new passions, and making new friends and wonderful summer- time memories,” says Director of Auxiliary Programs Liza Hards. Following our COVID-19 policies and safety measures, students will take advantage of our beautiful 14-acre campus, with classroom patio space, three playgrounds, and a turf field. Our younger students will focus on STEAM-themed projects in building, engineering, art, science, and nature projects. Students in second grade through sixth grade will participate in weekly workshops in a variety of subject areas, including science, sports,
art, technology, nature exploration, drama, writing, and more. Our newly-designed Leaders in Training program for rising seventh- through ninth-grade students will focus on building skills surrounding personal growth and leadership, and also offers a chance for them to work with our younger students during their final week of training.

AUGUST 9–13

We are thrilled to announce that more than 160 students will be joining us in person on campus, as well as some remote students joining from around the globe, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the EMS SUMMER STRING FESTIVAL. After listening to almost 400 audition videos, the faculty has selected some of the finest young artists in the nation to attend the festival this summer. The music faculty shared that they have never seen so many extremely advanced young students audition, and they are completely wowed by the sophisticated level of playing.

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.
