Through the Signature program, Emma students in 11th and 12th grade have the opportunity to delve into a topic or area of curiosity to them. Students spend the year working with a mentor in their field of interest and produce a final project or presentation demonstrating a deeper, informed understanding. For students pursuing scientific research in a real-world setting, there is an accompanying course called Research in Science.
Emma students have completed advanced projects in the arts, sciences, math, creative writing, politics, finance, history, and more.
Over the years, Signature students have taken the time to share more about their projects and what led them to explore this specific area. We invite you to explore a selection of these Signature Profiles and think about the ways in which you can contribute your voice and curiosity to the world.
