The Benefits of an All-Girls’ Education
Research provides compelling evidence that a girls-only education is associated with higher academic achievement, greater confidence and increased participation in STEM. In girls’ schools, learning is free from gender stereotyping, which nurtures self-esteem, grit and the belief that she can achieve her full potential.
Globally, women still represent only around 35% of STEM graduates, reflecting persistent social norms and biases — one reason tailored programs that encourage girls to explore STEM, lead and speak up matter.
Students who receive an all-girls’ education are also more likely to select traditionally male-dominated subjects, take up leadership opportunities and ask more questions than in a co-ed classroom — trying everything without fear of failure.
As a leading Perth girls school, MLC’s wellbeing, leadership, development and educational programs are designed specifically for girls, setting them on the path toward purposeful futures.
