Emma Willard SchoolDescription
At the age of 23, Emma Hart Willard opened the doors of her home in Middlebury, Vermont, to girls seeking a rich educational experience comparable with their brothers. She pioneered girls' education, taking it from focusing on "the charms of youth and beauty" to intellectually stimulating and rigorous courses in mathematics, geography, history, science, and philosophy. More than 200 years later, Emma Willard School continues to proudly foster in each of our girls a love of learning, the habits of an intellectual life; and the character, moral strength, and qualities of leadership to serve and shape her world.

Use of technology in the classroom
Students have access to public computers in Dietel library. Student printers are located in the basement of Slocum Hall, on the main floor of Dietel Library and in the e-cafe. Check out the Emma Willard Apple Store for our recommended Apple laptops or the Dell store for Windows laptop options. Wireless internet access is available campus-wide. We are now in a 1:N world. The "1" is your daughter and the "N" represents the many "computing" devices she may use to learn, play, and explore her world. From her smart phone to her laptop, from her Kindle to her iPad, many of our girls are heavily connected with technology when they walk through our gates, part of our job is to make sure that she learns to use these devices to her greatest possible advantage. To that end, we expect that students will arrive on campus with a working laptop computer. This computer will be used for her work both in and out of the classroom.

A salad bar that contains homemade salads, fresh top-of-the-line produce, seasonal locally grown produce, organic field greens, varied selections of meat and vegetarian proteins, nuts, granola and homemade croutons. Breakfast features omelets and cook-to-order eggs four days per week, vast fruit and organic bread displays, turkey bacon and sausage and a variety of fresh-made sandwiches and breakfast options. The lunch program offers fresh-made entrée and side salads, artisan-style sandwiches and homemade soups and dressings, all with the freshest ingredients and local produce when available. Dinner is more of a homestyle or restaurant experience, with carved dinners or display cooking, all homemade side dishes and fresh-baked breads and desserts. Emma Willard Dining Services takes food allergies very seriously. Many students and staff are sensitive to nuts, gluten, dairy and other foods, and we try to accommodate those needs whenever possible. If you have any special dietary requirements or concerns, we recommend that you meet with Dining & Health Services to set up a program that best suits you.
