A school’s curriculum that is designed to complement girls’ learning styles helps young women attain academic achievement in a wide array of subjects. Studies have shown that girls in single-sex schools perform better than girls in coed schools, regardless of socio-economic and ability levels.
Single-sex schools often give students the confidence to pursue lofty goals both at school and in the work force. 95 percent of recent graduates of all-girls schools said that having a career and profession was very or extremely important to them, and 78 percent added that it was very or extremely important that they hold leadership positions in their professional lives as well.
While many young girls are caught up in self-consciousness, doubt and cattiness, an all-girls’ school can provide an environment to foster sisterhood and self-expression. Girls are able to pursue areas of their choice, surrounded by strong role models to follow.
