Girls’ schools are places where girls take center stage. Girls occupy every seat in student government, every spot on the math team, and every position in the robotics club. In fact, every aspect of a girls’ school – from the classroom to the athletic field to the academic program – is designed for girls. By subtracting boys, an all-girls education adds opportunities for girls.

Six eighth grade students are making waves in a competition sponsored by the National Geographic Society. The students are taking part in the GeoChallenge, an annual themed and standards-based competition that challenges student groups in grades five through eight across the United States to develop a creative solution to a real-world problem. This year’s challenge is Tackling Plastic in our Waterways. They came up with a way to regulate plastic pollution and are putting it to work here on campus to improve the water in the Merrimack River.

According to the National Coalition of Girls' Schools 80% of students who attend girls's schools say that they are challenged to achieve their full academic potential.
