About our school: Middle school is a critical time for development, especially for girls. As girls reach early adolescence, their self-esteem and interest in certain subjects is likely to plummet as a result of being bombarded by conflicting messages about femininity and achievement. Seattle Girls’ School combats the trend of girls losing confidence before competence, especially in STEM subjects. Our project-based curriculum—grounded in real-world experiences—offers opportunities for leadership, collaboration and problem solving. Students connect academic studies with current events, selfawareness, and collaboration. This results in highly confident graduates who succeed in high school, college and beyond.
