Emma Hart Willard

Willard's history is central to who we are. We were the first school
in the country to provide girls the same educational opportunities given
to boys. Back in 1814, Emma Hart Willard bravely broke the mold. She believed
young women deserved diverse subject matter and academic rigor in line with
their ambitions and abilities. The school she founded champions individual
opinion and instills confidence. And we do this in a setting straight out
of the movies, with a striking hilltop campus that distinguishes our school
from all others.
