Emily Thomas is the Assistant Head of School. She holds dual B.A. degrees in Psychology and Theatre, as well as her Montessori certification for children ages 3-6. She is originally from South Carolina and moved to NYC in 2011. A Montessori student herself from ages 2-12, Emily brings a personal connection to the philosophy that shaped her own education and continues to inspire her work in education. She believes every child has the capacity to become a joyful, self-motivated learner when offered meaningful, engaging work in a nurturing environment. When she’s not teaching, Emily enjoys time in nature, swimming, running and hiking with her partner, and playing with her kittens, Moon and River.
