Should You Consider An All Girls Education For Your Daughter?

Should You Consider An All Girls Education For Your Daughter?

Not everyone likes the idea of an all-girls education!  Some parents worry that girls educated at an all-girls school; will not know how to communicate and interact with boys once they leave.

But the reality is that a modern, all-girls education gives girls the confidence and self-esteem to speak to anyone; including boys!

One of the big benefits of an all-girls education is that it helps to remove some of the pressures of being a teenage girl.  Today, perhaps more than ever before teenagers are under huge pressures.  Girls, in particular, are under pressure to look and act a certain way.  In an all-girls school, some of these pressures can be removed as girls are given the freedom and the space to be themselves.

[Tweet “Academically, many people would argue that there are also fewer distractions in an all-girls environment.”] This, therefore, means that girls are able to focus on their studies and on achieving the best possible exam results they can.

If you’re considering a UK school for your daughter it’s also important to remember that subjects such as Sciences and Maths are typically dominated by boys in the UK.  In an all-girls school, the reality is quite different.  With no boys, there are no boys subjects and no gender biases in terms of subject choices.  As a result, statistically, girls in the UK are 75% more likely to take Maths A level. They are two and a half times as likely to take Physics A level if they attend an all-girls school.
