The Power of Girls-Only Education

At Ipswich Girls’ Grammar, we believe in the transformative power of girls-only education. Extensive educational research confirms that girls-only education offers Year 7 to Year 12 girls the greatest chance to flourish. This unique environment is frequently associated with higher career aspirations, better test scores, and numerous social and emotional benefits.

The Girls’ School Advantage

According to the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS), girls’ schools provide a culture of academic achievement where it is “cool to be smart.” Girls in these environments are more likely to develop self-confidence and leadership skills, graduate at higher rates, and pursue STEM careers¹. The ICGS highlights that 93% of girls’ school graduates report greater leadership opportunities compared to their peers at coeducational schools, and 80% have held leadership positions since graduation¹.

A Safe and Focused Learning Environment

At Ipswich Girls’ Grammar, we create a safe and focused learning environment where your daughter can explore her potential without any stereotypes that may limit her choices or freedoms. Our girl-centric teaching strategies are designed to connect with your daughter’s interests and learning stages, significantly boosting her success, motivation, and enjoyment of study.

Leadership and Participation

All our girls have access to all leadership and captaincy positions and are actively encouraged to lead, participate, compete, and take risks. This approach ensures that every girl can develop her leadership skills and confidence, preparing her to face the world with grit and grace.

Understanding Adolescent Girls

Having educated adolescent girls since 1892, we understand that no two girls are the same. As parents, you can be assured that we will do our best by your daughter to help her realize her brightest future. Here, your daughter will be free to be who she wants to be, both inside the classroom and out.

Conclusion
