why parents send their daughters to
all-girls boarding schools

 

1. You may have become aware of the bias towards boys in the traditional classroom, and realize this may be impacting your daughter. This may be especially true if your daughter has any learning differences. You know your daughter is capable of more and you want her to reach her full academic potential so she can thrive and achieve in college. At Bromley we know how girls learn. We realize tht evidence shows that when girls are taught in a way that takes into account the timing of developmental milestones that are specific to girls, they simply learn more rapidly and effectively.

2. As your daughter moves through adolescencne, you realize how girls are often pressured into maturing too quickly in our society. The girls boarding school environment gives girls a safe place to grow up, but not grow up too fast.

3. Some girls cannot handle the social pressures of co-ed schools. If your daughter has put popularity over academic success, you could fear that she is selling herself short. Girls boarding schools not only remove the social pressure to change their behavior to seem more appealing to boys, but also help girls develop strong self-esteem that will help them deal with such pressures when they return home. This helps girls develop into healthy, self-confidence adults who do not feel they have to change who they are to have relationships with men. This enables them to have a healthy perspective on who they are in relation to the opposite sex.

4. Parents want their daughter to excel academically and achieve their highest potential. You may feel that the school has undervalued your daughter's abilities in math, science, and other subjects. Girls boarding schools such as Bromley Brook offer individualized instruction and rigorous academics to give these girls the best opportunity to succeed in school in ALL subjects.

5.Your daughter is slipping academically. You are seeking the structured environment of a boarding schools so your teen can focus on academics, develop strong study habits, and explore and discover her particular strengths.

6. The daughter is bright and capable, but she has a learning style or learning differences that cannot be properly addressed in a more traditional setting. The small class sizes at boarding schools allow her to receive individualized attention that will focus on HER specific needs and learning style.

7. Your daughter seems to have developed some negative attitudes and behaviors. You feel that a fresh start in a new environment that includes a positive peer group will help her rediscover her self-worth and move her back toward success.

Bromley Brook knows girls. We understand that in traditional academic settings they are forced to fit into a mold that isn't always in their best interest. Many studies have shown that girls and boys brains develop in a different order - and this suggests that by teaching them in a way that takes into account their specific developmental milestones, girls can excel much more rapidly in everything from science and math to the fine arts.
