What Girls Need to Thrive

Empowering Young Women to Reach Their Potential

One of the first 10 schools nationwide to receive the National Schools of Character Award, Montrose was again designated a National School of Character in 2017.

Montrose School has been educating girls for more than forty years. Our purposefully designed curriculum and nationally-recognized character and leadership program are designed to educate and inspire young women. We empower our girls by teaching them the way they naturally learn.

We value the dignity of each young woman and help her to reach her highest potential by developing the strengths of mind and character she needs to navigate the challenges of adolescence and use her freedom well.

At a time when girls’ academic achievement, sense of identity, aspirations and overall well-being are being challenged, Montrose School is countercultural, calling girls to greatness.

Why All Girls?

Stand Out

"As a college professor I could identify the students from girls' schools with a 90 percent accuracy rate on the first day of class. They were the young women whose hands shot up in the air, who were not afraid to defend their positions, and who assumed that I would be interested in their perspective."

- DR. ROBIN ROBERTSON, PROFESSOR, LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, GIRLS' SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Improve Achievement

"Having conducted research on single-sex and co-educational schools for the past two decades, I have concluded that single-sex schools help to improve student achievement. My conclusions are based on high quality national data gathered by the National Center for Education Statistics, as well as on studies conducted around the globe."

- CORNELIUS RIORDAN, GIRLS AND BOYS IN SCHOOL: TOGETHER OR SEPARATE?
Reach Higher

"One of the key arguments supporting single-sex programs is that they create an institutional and classroom climate in which female students can express themselves freely and frequently, and develop higher order thinking skills."

- DR. ROSEMARY SALOMONE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S TEACHER COLLEGE RECORD
Seize Opportunity

"When girls go to single-sex schools, they stop being the audience and become the players."

- MAYA AND DAVID SADKER, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS
Make a Difference

"Montrose is uniquely poised to educate young women who will make a difference in the world. The world needs Montrose graduates now more than ever: Maverick women of conviction and ingenuity who can unify diverse groups; principled women who have practical wisdom and who commit themselves to noble and worthwhile pursuits."

- KATIE ELROD, HEAD OF SCHOOL
