A strong and lasting relationship with our families is a distinctive quality of the Emma Willard School experience.

Whether you live near or far, we are delighted to offer you a variety of opportunities to participate in our community. From attending events and welcoming new families to providing students with the wisdom of your experience and participating in the Emma Fund, we are most grateful to our families who contribute to empowering our students through their active engagement, volunteerism, and philanthropy.

Parent EMbassadors Program

Members of the Parent EMbassadors Program (PEP) serve as a resource to Emma Willard School’s administration as well as to current and prospective families. At meetings held on campus each Fall Family Weekend and at least one other time during the school year (in person or virtually), PEP members receive updates and a closer look at current priorities and topics of discussion at the School.
