Greetings!
Whether you are a prospective student or parent, alumnus or community member, we appreciate your interest in our school!
At EMS, we:
- honor God and look to the life of Jesus Christ as our model for how to love and treat others.
- know our students as uniquely created in God’s image.
- nurture each student and staff member's physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being.
- challenge students to explore, read, research, and analyze information as critical thinkers for a lifetime of active learning.
- empower students to dream, collaborate, practice integrity, and take risks as they develop leadership skills.
- raise awareness about global complexities.
- encourage volunteerism and service to others.
- build positive relationships among all people through creative, respectful, and restorative practices.
- strive for excellence in academics, emphasizing the arts in a faith community of learning.
We are a learning community rooted in the Christian faith in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition. We value a community of believers discerning together where all voices are welcome, heard and respected.
