With its challenging curriculum, engaged faculty, unmatched levels of student support, and innovative ways of building community, Bryn Mawr Online sets itself apart from other online schools.
There’s another advantage as well, one that’s distinctly Bryn Mawr Online–we call it the all-girls advantage.
As you consider an online high school, consider the benefits of an all-girls education, demonstrated scientifically and anecdotally.
Studies show that schools for girls create a culture of achievement and an environment in which attendees excel compared to their peers at coed schools.
Research* shows that:
- Girls’ school grads report higher self-confidence over their coed peers
- Graduates of girls’ schools are six times more likely to consider a STEM major
- Nearly 87% of girls’ school students feel their voices are respected (vs. 58% at coed schools)
- 93% of girls’ school graduates say they were offered greater leadership opportunities than coed peers
- 80% have held leadership positions since graduating from high school
* Data collected by the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools
“We feel that in an all-girls environment, our daughter will have more opportunities to assert leadership and show excellence,” shared a current Bryn Mawr Online parent.
Additionally, well-being is noted as a strength at girls’ schools, with fewer incidences of bullying. Students are less likely to feel like outsiders, but rather that they belong and can make friends easily.
Beyond the research, we see the ways Bryn Mawr Online girls lead every venture, challenge themselves in new ways and blaze bold trails, supported by a faculty that truly understands what girls need to thrive today and into the future.
“It’s a common thing we hear in applications: I love history and English but am terrible at math or science. Some girls are not as confident. We show them they can succeed in STEM, tailor our program, and talk about female leaders in the field to build up their confidence,” said Justin Curtis, Director of Bryn Mawr Online.
“They leave here knowing they have a seat at the table and that their voice matters.”
