Why Girls' Schools?

"Girls’ schools are leading the way in STEM education for women in the world. Graduates of girls’ schools are six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology and three times more likely to consider engineering compared to girls who attended coed schools."

About Our Leadership

“Miss Swift made sure to challenge us, as students, while also ensuring that we knew just how much faith she had in us to excel. This fine balance is what makes her students grow and stand out. It allows students to excel, despite adversities and moments of self-doubt. Seldom will you find an educator, like Miss Swift, who succeeds at maintaining such an environment.”   - Jessica Nolasco, Student

Our program is designed with the particular needs of girls with readiness and interest as paramount; as a result, it will positively impact all girls. The combination of rigorous academics – with focuses in engineering and business – and supportive community are critical to outcomes for girls. Research suggests that all-girls education positively impacts students’ transitions to college and enhances self-esteem. Girls’ school graduates are also three times more likely to consider engineering careers and six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science and technology than peers from coed schools.
