[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering an all girls school for our daughter who has gone co-ed through pre & lower school.  The school we are considering has a good relationship/link to the close by all boys school and seems to provide good class interaction on the high-school level and other opportunities for mixing (plays, musical groups, dances etc...).  The school is a little larger than most all girls schools and has strong academics and sports.

Please tell me the pros/cons you have experienced?

Pro's?
- Based off of studies... potential to increase confidence in particular with the STEM fields.  6X more likely to major in STEM in college.
- Pro-girl camaraderie and community

Con's?
- Mean girls phases or stereotype if the school community is not inclusive
- Weird view of boys/men if there is not co-mingling and normalization of boys

What else do we need to be thinking about??

 Go in with a positive attitude and your daughter will follow. There were the meanest girls at our child's coed k8, so you can't avoid them and likely she will find great friends at the girls' school you are considering if your daughter was accepted.[/quote]
