[quote=Anonymous]Our hope was that an all-girls' school might offer an environment where my DD might feel more confident about pursuing activities in which she could take on leadership roles.  Further, my DH is Catholic, went to Catholic hs and found religion to be particularly meaningful during those rough and tumble hs years.  DD has never been one to fret over hair, make-up and clothes in the AM; so we were not looking to an all-girls' school to eliminate any morning drama. Agree with previous post that issues such as competing for the attention of boys are basically non-issues at SR.  However, there are other, equally troubling issues at an all-girls' school; girls can be hyper-critical of each other or "judge-y" as my DD says.  And yes, I'm all for a hs experience that is focused on studies and that provides a solid path to college.  However, I am a firm believer in a well-rounded hs experience.  I find it narrow-minded to think about hs only in terms of a stepping stone to college.  Life goes on beyond college, and some of those formative hs experiences (broken hearts, questionable teenage behavior, boy-girl friendships, etc) are ones that provide important, meaningful life lessons.
