Something extraordinary and transformative happens to students over the course of their time at Emma Willard School.

Students speak passionately about what they have learned about themselves and about broadening their horizons through relationships with peers who are very different from themselves. Girls learn by example and practice about responsibility and risk taking. They also find in themselves a healthy respect for and an interest in new views and cultures.
An Emma Girl has the courage to seek out challenging experiences, secure in the knowledge that she can make herself at home in and contribute meaningfully to a community anywhere in the world.
