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 selfesteem, 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.
At MLC, our wellbeing, leadership, development and educational programs are designed specifically for girls, setting them on the path toward purposeful futures.
