At All Hallows’ School, girls enjoy not only equal opportunity but every opportunity. They participate, influence, lead and learn in an environment free from gender stereotyping, where they are encouraged and supported to explore their interests, talents and passions.
All Hallows’ educators draw upon their specialist knowledge and deep expertise in girls’ education to create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment in which students can learn, grow and thrive. Staff are committed to the wellbeing of every girl and to delivering programs that empower them to navigate the pressures, influences, and challenges young women face.
The Research
The benefits of single sex education are often debated in research and educational circles. While no single study can conclusively claim that girls achieve better outcomes because they attend a girls’ school, a clearer picture emerges when multiple high quality studies are considered together.
For families and community members who wish to explore this research further, we recommend visiting the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS) website. ICGS is dedicated to advancing the mission of girls’ schools worldwide, representing over 560 schools across 26 countries.
Their research pages provide a helpful overview of recent studies highlighting the varied academic, social, and wellbeing advantages associated with girls’ schools. Nearly all of the research featured has been published within the past few years and offers valuable insight into the potential benefits of single sex education for girls.
