Vision Statement
Emerson Education is inspired by the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who believed in the inherent goodness of the individual and the importance of self-discovery as part of the educational journey. He also stressed the importance of nature and intuition in one's education. Emerson Edu believes that every child possesses the innate ability to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. Our commitment lies in fostering an educational environment that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures the development of essential skills, values, and perspectives.
Emerson Ed only hires experienced classroom teachers. Our tutors are current or former practicing teachers with years of practice honing their craft and meeting the learning needs of a diverse range of students.Â
In our vision:
Education as the Bedrock of Democracy: We firmly believe that education is the bedrock of a healthy democratic society. Through empowering and enlightening our youth, we aim to cultivate informed, engaged citizens who actively contribute to the well-being and progress of our communities and beyond.
The Inherent Potential of Every Child: We recognize and celebrate the unique potential within each child. Our educational approach is founded on the belief that every student can learn and make progress, given the right support, resources, and encouragement. We are dedicated to unlocking the hidden potential within every child.
Reading as the Gateway to Empathy and Knowledge: We champion the transformative power of reading as a key to developing empathy and acquiring knowledge. By instilling a love for reading, we aim to cultivate compassionate individuals with a broad understanding of the world, fostering a global perspective and a deep appreciation for diversity.
Self-Advocacy Skills for Lifelong Success: We are committed to equipping students with the essential skill of self-advocacy. Empowering them to articulate their needs, aspirations, and concerns prepares them not only for academic success but also for a lifetime of confident decision-making and effective communication.
Collaboration between Parents and Teachers: We believe in the profound impact of collaborative efforts between parents and teachers. By fostering open communication and partnership, we aim to create a holistic support system that nurtures the overall development of the child. Together, we can ensure that every student receives the guidance, encouragement, and resources needed for their success.
At Emerson Edu, we are dedicated to shaping a future where education is not only a pathway to knowledge but a transformative force that inspires individuals to reach their full potential, contribute meaningfully to society, and uphold the principles of a vibrant and thriving democracy.
Meet Emmie and Bryant. Emmie, short for Emerson, has been an excellent teacher to her younger brother Bryant. She has taught him how to play tug of war, tug on the leash, come, occasionally, when called. Most importantly she has taught Bryant to eat kibble quickly. Overall, she has taught shy, young Bryant how to be a dog. Emmie and Bryant are Emerson Education's mascots and help kids feel welcomed, relaxed and ready to learn.
