this emma life
The journey began here‌ Many call their Emma experience “transformative.â€? For generations of Emma Girls, that transformation can mean so many things. It can be the inner journey toward discovering her talents; an experience that changed her life and therefore the course of who she became today; or a journey arm-inarm with a generation of women who have been bound together by friendships they formed at Emma.
This year, more than 300 girls are on their Emma journey. Many are penning their freshman letters to themselves and picturing what it might feel like to get their class ring, wear a white dress at Commencement and receive the red rose that symbolizes the culmination of their transformation at Emma.

Giving back is giving forward. How Your Gift Helps
The Emma Fund provides immediately available income enabling the head of school, department chairs, and admin‑ istration to direct dollars where they are most needed. Gifts to The Emma Fund support deserving young scholars, dedicated teachers, and the magnificent campus they call home—all the strategic priorities at the heart of Emma’s transformative education While tuition and fees provide much of Emma Willard’s operating budget, The Emma Fund establishes a critical bridge between tuition revenue and endowment income, and the actual cost of an Emma education. Your unrestricted gifts offer the school valuable flexibility, allowing us to meet our most pressing annual needs.
