Emma Willard is not perfect, but I have enjoyed my time here overall. I had made great friends and met some great faculty members that I will appreciate forever.

I am so incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to attend Emma. As a current college freshman, I can see the difference in how prepared I am for college (thanks to EWS) and the preparedness of my peers. Thanks to Emma I feel extremely comfortable in a college environment, in the dorms, and talking to my professors. While at Emma, I had my ups and downs, but for the most part was very supported. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better high school experience.

The school has high ranking thanks to all self-study students. They study day in and day out to get good scores! Thanks to...

It is true that most of the girls were from upper middle class families that had given them many more opportunities than my family could for me, and I generally felt like there was an Emma club to which I didn't belong. I found it very h...

I must disagree with the student who feels there's a certain type of Emma student. I found it diverse in every way, including socio-economically, although perhaps what's even better is that I wasn't aware when I was there of the socio-economic diversity-- meaning I didn't find divisive cliques. I th...
