[quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to answer that question because it would depend on the girl and the school. DH and I wanted DD to be in an environment where her voice would be heard because we noticed (in public elementary school) what 13:13 mentioned about fewer girls speaking up. An all girl’s environment was exactly what our daughter needed and she thrived - immediately. She embraced leadership roles (that weren’t limited to gender like in public school) and she enjoyed not being asked to manage the behavior of others. I’m glad that she didn’t wait until college for that experience. She’s a college sophomore now and throughout the application process was adamant about attending a coed school. She attended Holton and had an amazing experience - she’s now at an Ivy League school. She’s been well prepared academically and has learned how to take the lead, be part of a team and advocate for herself. But like I said earlier, it all depends on the kid and the school. Good luck!![/quote]
