Welcome to Emma
At Emma, our students learn that there is enormous potential and power in being a girl. In our classrooms, on our athletic courts, within science labs, and on stage, life-long lessons are learned in daring to participate, lead, and explore.
“It is our belief that surrounding girls 24/7 with role models who are life-long learners is the secret ingredient needed to build a school culture that is affirming and aspirational, global and intimate, joy-filled and girl-centric. Our community is, quite simply, our home; and we live together in ways that permit the safe exploration of necessary risk-taking so important to building resilient young women.”
