Alumni of all-girls schools often report that they could not "hide" while in school. Without some of the distractions of traditional co-ed schools, girls focus more carefully on their work and teachers have higher expectations for student achievement.
Research shows that girls school graduates are six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology and three times more likely to consider engineering careers compared to girls who attend co-ed schools.
Girls schools empower students to become bold leaders. Our students are more likely to take healthy risks than girls in co-ed settings.
A girl’s environment influences why she does or does not choose to compete, and girls from single-gender schools engage in more healthy competition than girls at co-ed schools.
Over 90% of girls school grads say they were offered greater leadership opportunities than peers at co-ed schools, and 80% have held leadership positions since graduating from high school.
