Emma Willard School

Founded by Emma Hart Willard in 1814 at a time when girls were not afforded opportunities and access to education, her namesake school was established to foster in each student a love of learning, the habits of an intellectual life, and the character, moral strength, and qualities of leadership to serve and shape the world. Emma Willard School is located in Troy, NY, offering independent boarding and day schooling for nearly 360 students in grades 9-12.
