An education for girls

We believe that an education in a girls’ setting has significant benefits.​

​A chance to challenge notions of boys’ and girls’ subjects-allowing girls to excel in the sciences, mathematics and technology. ​

Powerful role modelling for girls from strong female leaders​.

The opportuniy to develop personally without being subject to stereotypes of what girls can and can’t (or should and shouldn’t) do​.

A curriculum for personal development that is tailored to girls’ needs.​

Welfare support that is targeted to girls’ needs.​
