Sisterhood fosters leadership

Graduates of all-girls schools are more likely than peers from coed schools to speak up and pursue their passions with confidence. 

Lifelong Impact of All-Girls Education

Research shows that girls school graduates have stronger academic skills, higher self-confidence, greater cultural competency, increased political engagement, and stronger community involvement. Girls schools are leading the way in closing the gender gap in STEM fields: Compared to coed peers, girls’ school grads are six times more likely to consider majoring in science, math, and technology.

At Walker’s, young women form a strong sense of self and a resilience for new experiences. They discover passions and build proficiencies that will serve them for the rest of their lives — in college, careers and as community leaders. Here, peers are role models: students benefit from the warmth, respect, and support of the entire School community as they become their best, most confident selves — as students, leaders, and citizens of the world.
