Why All-Girls?

Building Unshakable Confidence

 “During the middle school years, girls show a decline in both their performance in mathematics, and in their attitudes toward mathematics. Research suggests that girls’ schools may mitigate that decline, in comparison with coed schools.

— Dr. Carlo Cerruti, Harvard University, Exploring Girls’ Attitudes About Math

Creating Sisterhood

“Students at girls’ schools indicated more frequently than girls at coed schools that they made friends easily, felt like they belonged, and that other students seemed to like them.”

Developing Leaders

93 percent of girls’ school graduates say they were offered greater leadership opportunities than their peers at coed schools, and 80 percent have held leadership positions since graduating from high school."

Empowering Young Women

“Girls at all levels of achievement in the single-sex schools receive a … benefit from the single-sex school environment in terms of heightened career aspirations—an effect unprecedented in any other portion of our study.”

— Dr. Cary M. Watson, Stanford University, Sex Roles: A Journal of Research
