Since 1814, Emma Willard School has been one of the nation's leading college- preparatory boarding and day schools for young women. At Emma Willard, every possible resource is dedicated to developing in its students the values and skills that form the foundation of a life of accomplishment, leadership, and fulfillment. These include a love for the life of the mind, a commitment to service, courage and confidence, grace and creativity, and collaboration and friendship.
Known for its rigor, the School promotes intellectual curiosity and disciplined study habits through a challenging curriculum distinguished by a wide array of advanced placement courses and electives. It also promotes active involvement in the life of the campus and off-campus communities through a rich co-curricular program and an exciting intercept program.
In all they do, students are both challenged and closely supported by an outstanding faculty and staff. The School's extraordinary physical plant, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, provides a breathtakingly beautiful, yet state-of-the-art, setting for learning and living. Throughout its history, Emma Willard has been committed to enrolling a diverse student body from across the Capital Region, across the country, and around the world. This commitment is honored by significant expenditures in financial aid to assist families that might not otherwise have the opportunity for an extraordinary secondary education.
