Confidence, Creativity and Sisterhood
Why Choose an All-Girls School?
According to a 2009 UCLA study, young women who attend all-girls high schools demonstrate:
• greater confidence in math, computer and writing abilities.
• 30 percent higher SAT scores in reading, writing and math.
• greater political engagement and interest in engineering careers.
• self-confidence in public speaking, and greater likelihood of engaging in extracurricular activities.
• a higher realization that college is a stepping-stone to graduate school.
• a lower tendency to think in terms of “girl-subjects” and to fit traditional stereotypes.
“There is a spontaneity, a synergy, an emotional security, and a sense of community that seem to flow out of shared experiences and common purposes as young women. What I saw and what I heard from students, parents, staff and alumnae was that these schools are safe harbors where girls can securely weather the storms of adolescence while nurturing their spirit and intellect.” – Rosemary Salomone ’64, author of: Same, Different, Equal: Rethinking Single-Sex schooling (Harvard University Press, 2010)
