Why a Girls' School?
Research studies conducted over the past 20 years have consistently shown that graduates of girls' schools possess many advantages over their peers at coed independent schools. These advantages include:
- Greater academic engagement and stronger academic skills
- More likely to aspire to graduate school
- Greater political and community service engagement
- More likely to see themselves as future scientists
- Higher levels of cultural competency and political engagement
- More likely to develop strong writing and public speaking skills
