Why Choose a Girls' School?
Here are a few good reasons:
Girls are always at centre stage.
They must participate, take charge and get involved. The top scholars, the team captains, the yearbook editors, the leads in the school play – they're all girls. Girls are the ones with their hands up, using the microphone, seeking the teacher's attention, being heard. At our school, girls do not have to compete for a place; they are already in first place!
Everyone has a voice in the classroom.
According to a variety of research, many girls in our nation's classrooms are not getting the attention and quality education they deserve. Unlike their male counterparts, they tend to lose rather than gain in confidence, have diminished educational expectations and feel less confident in Math, Science and Technology as they progress through their school years. All too often they are the listeners rather than the doers. At girls' schools, the opposite is true.
The "can-do" atmosphere yields lifelong rewards.
Our graduates are confident learners, critical thinkers and self-starters. Our students are enthusiastic participants in Math, Science and Technology, able learners and contributing team players.
