"As I think about our children...two things come to mind."

Head of School Aaron Cooper's opening remarks for Back To School Night - 9/27/2012.

Mr. Cooper notes two significant priorities for The Elisabeth Morrow School:

1. Care for and understanding of each student.

2. A program that supports the individual development of each student.

"Our emblem, like all symbols, has deeper meaning. The sun stands for illumination through knowledge. The moon reflects beauty and imagination, without which education would be narrow and bleak. The stars speak for our spirits, insights and aims, as schools, like ships, must have guiding stars. But it is the apple tree that has special meaning; it represents the school's vision and vitality, its overflowing gifts and the promise that our dreams can come true."

Constance Chilton

Head of School, 1930-1981

When our students graduate, we want them to come away with two things: self-awareness and a passion for learning. At Elisabeth Morrow, beyond the curriculum, we make every effort to foster these traits because we know it will serve them well in their academic careers and their life beyond school. ”
