Be ready to question, observe, experiment, and evaluate as you study such subjects as physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, and more.
Through our dynamic curriculum designed to prepare you for future study, you’ll learn to inquire purposefully, think critically, and judge wisely. You’ll also get the background needed for further scientific pursuit—which many of our students opt for in college. In fact, according to the International Coalition of Girls Schools, girls’ school graduates are six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology compared to girls who attended coeducational schools.
