GIRLS ONLY BOARDING SCHOOLS

Feel free to be yourself

Boarding school for girls offers a distinct advantage over coed schools. Classes can cater to the fact that girls have a distinct learning style and the environment allows one-of-a-kind opportunities for growth and progress. In fact, girls come to appreciate the advantages of living in a single sex environment, where they are not distracted by the opposite gender, do not feel judged and do not feel the need to compete for attention.

You'll find that you develop unique aspects of yourself with boys out of the picture. You'll be stress-free to participate in any activity available. A girls-only boarding school frees you up to be yourself in a way you might have never imagined.

"You can be more yourself instead of trying to impress the boys. You can take chances. You can try anything and not be afraid."
- Amy, Trafalgar Castle School.

 

 

Learning is different for girls
Girls only boarding schools can fully explore curricula and teaching targeted at young women. Girls learn and think in a fundamentally different way from boys. "Girls take a more communicative, collaborative approach to learning," says Elizabeth Falco, expert on teaching girls. In a girls-only learning environment, teachers and students can develop a one-of-a-kind rapport.

You'll be able to focus on academics and personal growth without certain pressures and stresses. You'll feel free to develop yourself in any subject area you're interested in. You'll cherish the freedom to take risks you never would with the opposite sex around.

"If I was a day student I would not be able to participate as much in sports, drama, choir and student council. My friends at home think (boarding is) really neat. They think I'm lucky."
- Sarah, all girls boarding school student.
