[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
[b]- Weird view of boys/men if there is not co-mingling and normalization of boys[/b]

What else do we need to be thinking about??

This is very odd, unless the girl had never interacted with boys or don't have opportunies outside the school. [/quote]
