ELI`s Emerson School in Palo Alto is a private, nonsectarian institution for students from first grade through eighth grade.
It takes an integrated approach to learning that builds on the classic foundations of Western civilization and addresses the future needs of students and their families. Emerson`s reliance on an individualized pace for the development of basic skills means that individual progress is optimized and, in general, accelerated. Students are typically placed in groups spanning two to three years of age without grade distinctions.
The multiage groupings make possible a program that is customized for each student, thereby accommodating a wide range learning styles and personalities.
Monthly tuition stated is for a 9 hour day for students on a 12 month contract.

School Notes
The goal of our teachers is to create an environment that
encourages the pursuit of excellence in all facets of a child`s
work, to stimulate a sense of curiosity, and to encourage the
development of independence and individual responsibility as well
as a social conscience. As much as possible, our teachers avoid the
role of "sage on stage" who imparts content to students that they
can just as easily obtain from books or other sources. Instead, our
teachers for the most part act like tutors who float from student
to student, checking on progress, ensuring that skill development
is continuing, and remediating any problems during the learning
process rather than doubling back after a test failure to
understand where things went wrong.

We love this school and our kids don't want to leave at the end of the day. The teachers are passionate, the class sizes are small and the teaching is of a high standard. The best part is my kids (9 and 7) are empowered to take responsibility for their learning, something very unique that will help them in the future. Finally, worth mentioning the varied curriculum which includes a daily hour of sport, 3 hours of music, 3 hours of languages and 2 hours of art a week.

I asked ChatGPT to list apps, YouTube Channels, and podcasts suitable for enriching the studies of students ages 10-14. (We'll look at resources for younger and older students in another article.)
AI (Artificial Intelligence), specifically ChatGPT, poses some serious challenges for teachers. We explore the importance of teaching students how to attribute the work and ideas of others.
