Girls' Schools (Private Schools for Girls)
  School Events
 

Girls' schools offer young Canadian women a chance to separate themselves from the boys - literally. When girls are in a coeducational school, there are many more pressures on them and they can suffer academically and personally. At some point, parents may have to admit that their daughter is having problems and many of those problems arise from the influence of boys. Over the years, we have presented many stories in which families have professed the benefits of having sent a child to girls' school.

While there are many young women who survive adolescence, some do fall victim to peer pressure. They may begin a downward spiral and can lose control of their lives, with long-term negative consequences. Parents who decide to send their daughter to a girls' school seldom regret the decision.

There is a difference between normal acting out and the loss of control that can be potentially very damaging, resulting from any of the following damaging behaviors: alcohol or drug use, sexual promiscuity or academic decline.

Of course, there are many parents who have their minds set on a private girls' school early on, confident that this is the best choice for their daughter's social and academic growth.

Find girls' schools in Canada

The best source for information on girls' schools is the schools themselves. We have listings of private girls' schools in Ontario and the rest of Canada. Contact the schools to find out what they have to offer your daughter.

The benefits of private schools for girls:

Research from the last two decades shows that there are many benefits of sending your daughter to an all girls school including the following:

  • greater participation in class discussion
  • emulation of female role models
  • greater confidence in assuming leadership
  • less concern for the opinions of others
  • participation in non-traditional-female sports

Sending girls to a private school is only one solution to certain issues. If you decide to do so, the change in scenery might be painful in the short run and your girl may put up resistance. However, some decisions need to be held to firmly so that long term benefits can be gained. The great majority of parents and daughters never regret the years and tuition spent at girls' school.
