Visiting Emma Willard School

"I came and decided I would go to school here, from seeing people interacting with one another and sitting in on classes." — Abby ’05

rospective students are welcome to visit Emma Willard before submitting an application. An interview is required, so please contact the Admissions Office for an appointment. We recommend that you spend three hours at Emma Willard. During that time we will schedule a campus tour, a class visit, and an interview. If distance or other factors make this impossible, please call the office for an interview in your area.

For more information, contact the Admissions Office at 518-833-1320 or e-mail the Admissions Office.

Included in Emma Willard's regular communications efforts is a series of messages from Trudy Hall, Head of School. The importance of peer contact, having crucial family conversations, managing the stress of exams, and current literature on girls' development and education are just some of the topics explored in a personal and dynamic series of essays.
