Why Girls' Schools
Imagine a school where every student in the jazz band is a girl. The captain of the flag football team is a girl. Girls win poetry contests and physics competitions. Girls are on stage and backstage. They lead the environmental club. They debate world issues and take on social causes with compassion.
Girls’ schools are places where girls take center stage. They occupy every seat in student government, every spot on the math team, and every position in the robotics club. In fact, every aspect of a girls’ school – from the classroom to the athletic field to the academic program – is designed for girls. By subtracting boys, an all-girls environment adds opportunities for girls.
