Girls Are The Jocks

Girls do not sit on the sidelines cheering or watching their boyfriends. Girls are the jocks, the team captains, the ones winning the awards at the sports banquet.

Girls Are The Math & Science Superstars

With a classroom of only girls, a girl will be the best at math or science. Girls don't shy away from these subjects. It was cool to be the smart girl.

No boys to impress = no need to shower, do hair, put on makeup. I frequently looked like this baby and quite frankly I didn't care.

No Teacher Bias

Only girls' hands are in the air. There can be no bias in selecting boys to answer the question or be the team leader.

It's the truth. And I probably shouldn't confine it to lunchtime.

Most girls schools have a strict uniform. I loved not having to think about what to wear. (PS - do NOT try searching girls private school uniform on Google!)

Life-Long Bonds

I didn't appreciate the bonds I had created during my 12 years at an all-girls school until we had our 20th year reunion. It was amazing (this is a photo from it.) The class was so bonded and everyone got along. These women are very important to me.

It's OK To Shout "Who Has An Extra Tampon"

This reason was cited by many and although it sounds small it's really symbolic of something bigger. The all-girls school gives you the freedom to express yourself, whether it's borrowing a tampon or sharing your view on a Shakespeare love story.

It Builds Confidence

I'm sure there are girls who went to coed schools who have plenty of confidence. I am sure there are girls who came out of an all-girls environment who lacked confidence. For me personally, an all-girls environment was a key element in building confidence.

You may complain when you have them but in the long run you are so glad you did it.
