"I believe that our own experience instructs us that the secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret"
-RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Supporting Our Vision
We envision a collaborative learning experience, reflective of our community of children, families and teachers, that is joyful, affirming, and enduring.
We provide an inquiry based environment where diversity and the natural world are embraced as catalysts for understanding, respect and equity.
Emerson School's uniqueness results from relationships between families, teachers, and a parent volunteer Board of Directors. These partnerships have been the essence of Emerson since 1966 and remain the key to our continued success.
