Our girls thrive.

Our welcoming, comfortable environment allows students to ask questions, express their own ideas, grow in their faith and try new activities—without hesitations or distractions.

Empowering Girls

Our girls push themselves.

With personal faculty attention, 1:1 technology integration, the IB Diploma Programme and STEM, we work with students until they realize and achieve their full, individual potential.

Intellect

Our girls take initiative.

With 30 sports teams, 8 stage productions and over 30 clubs, our girls fill influential roles all over campus, developing the intelligence, confidence and compassion to become women of action.
