Information

Emerson School receives large numbers of phone calls from parents asking if Emerson would be suitable for their child.

These parents often comment on their child “falling between the cracks”; not coping with a wide range of learning tasks; being left out and feeling unwell or alone.

Emerson specialises in providing dynamic learning programs for students with mild intellectual, developmental and processing difficulties. We provide for the entire education journey from 5-18 years old across Primary and Secondary education.

By specialising in mild intellectual issues, we can raise the learning bar and increase expectations of success.

We give students a “wonderful possibility to live in”. That is why parents and students love Emerson School.

A Word From Our Parents

{

Thank you for the amazing care, education and life skills you have provided Liam. The moment we walked through the doors in 2009, I knew we were ‘home’ and had found the place for Liam to grow. Thank you for taking my little bud and helping him grow and blossom, ready to be a working man next year.
