Does the dash in "[FONT=맑은 고딕]Billups wasn’t just another school ― it was another world" [/FONT][FONT=맑은 고딕]function as an emphasis or paraphrasing?
Does dash always function as emphasis in sentences?[/FONT]

ex) One morning I came across a catalog for a college preparatory school called Billups Academy. It had a summer program and offered scholarships for high school students to ‘deepen and extend their intellectual, aesthetic, and moral interests.’ I applied for and won a scholarship. Billups wasn’t just another school ― it was another world. I was used to big skies, wild water, snakes and horses, and solitude. What waited for me in (d) this new world was tree-lined avenues, brick buildings with white pillars, and a wood-paneled library.
