Infinite Horizon Home
More than two hundred years ago, our school was founded by a woman who was determined to map uncharted territory. With this groundbreaking campaign, we honor—and extend—the legacy of Emma Hart Willard. Infinite Horizon: The Campaign for Emma Willard School is a watershed moment in education: the largest known campaign for an independent girls’ secondary school in American history.
WATCH FOR OUR GRAND TOTAL ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON!
CAMPAIGN GOAL: $175 MILLION
total to date: $193,653,922.92
Our goal of $175 million, which was exceeded in January of 2025, is about much more than that groundbreaking number. It’s about preparing new generations of students to wrestle with vast new challenges. It’s about giving more bright students access to an exceptional education. It’s about freedom and flexibility, creativity and opportunity, history and innovation—for our students, for our teachers, for our school.

Since its grand opening just a year ago, the Alice Dodge Wallace ’38 Center for the Performing Arts has become a fixture of Emma Willard School and the central gathering place for countless campus events, performances, and traditions. The new space has already garnered a bevy of awards and praise for the work of Annum Architects, Consigli Construction, and the many vendor partners involved in the project. (Pictured above: David Elzer and Bob Carroll of Annum Architects with Dr. Karen Lassey and Ann Beha.)
