  • Meet the faces of EMS! Miss Anna Osei Owusu has been a valuable addition to the EMS team since joining in 2023 as our lower school administrative assistant. With her warm smile and dedication, she has quickly become a familiar and friendly face to students, parents, faculty, and staff. As the "engine port" of the building, Miss Anna plays a crucial role in keeping everything running smoothly. From assisting teachers to managing administrative tasks, she juggles many responsibilities effortlessly. She says what she loves most about working at EMS is the supportive and family-oriented atmosphere. Miss Anna's most cherished memory from her own school days was being appointed prefect (a student appointed to have special responsibility over other students in a school) of her grade. Her exceptional work and dedication earned her a nomination for "best prefect" at the end of the year. In her free time, Miss Anna volunteers in Newark. She participates in various local projects to positively impact her surroundings. This same dedication and positive attitude shines through in her work at EMS, where she strives to ensure everyone feels supported and valued. Miss Anna's Tagline: "Living the dream! Every day at EMS is a dream come true."

  • “We are honored to be a part of the NJAIS community and to have the opportunity to contribute to the development of future leaders. Our school is committed to providing students with the tools and experiences they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world. We are grateful for this recognition and will continue to strive for excellence in all that we do.” — Head of School Marek Beck, Ph.D.

  • Congratulations to our Class of 2024! “It’s no surprise that the most selective secondary day and boarding schools in the country continue to seek out our students. Each of our graduates has honed a set of competencies necessary for success today and well into the future. At EMS, these competencies — collaboration, innovation, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, effective oral and written communication, growth mindset, integrity, and self-efficacy — begin to take shape in our youngest students in the 2s program and develop throughout an academic journey that culminates in eighth grade. This intentional pathway for our students is ‘the EMS advantage,’ and these essential competencies form our community’s shared Vision of the EMS Graduate.” — Marek Beck, Ph.D., Head of School Learn more about what it means to be an EMS graduate, where our students have been accepted, and where they are choosing to attend: https://bit.ly/4bqE2y8

  • Thank you to the students (and their families) who planned an assembly about Ramadan for all of Little School last week! At the assembly, four of our Little School students shared many interesting facts about Ramadan, including that is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar (a lunar calendar based on the phases of the moon) and one of the most sacred times of the year for Muslims or for those who follow the religion of Islam. They observe Ramadan with prayers and fasting (sawn) and can't eat or drink until the sun sets. When they break their fast in the evening, they enjoy a special meal called iftar. The end of Ramadan is a three-day festival called Eid al-Fitr — one of the most joyous times of the year to celebrate with friends and family. Best wishes to all who are celebrating today!

  • Happy National STEAM Day! ⁣ On Halloween, our Morrow House students (Grades 5–8) flexed their mental muscles by participating in a Halloween-themed STEAM activity with Mrs. Morra and Ms. Saal. Students dived into the world of geometry and 3D construction as they created their very own cube-shaped Halloween figures, including pumpkins, black cats, and flying bats. ⁣ ⁣ This creative project not only allowed students to explore the principles of geometry by folding, cutting, and assembling paper shapes but also engaged their problem-solving skills as they worked to construct three-dimensional structures.
