Why Choose an All-Girls School?
In an all-girls environment, your daughter is always at the center of the action. She is not a spectator but a participant. By necessity, she will take charge, get involved, and develop independence. This environment encourages critical thinking and helps her become a self-starter, a strong learner, and a valuable team player.
Cultivating Confidence for an Unpredictable World
We recognize that your daughter will enter a world of work filled with yet-to-be-invented jobs and unimaginable problems. Confident young women are better equipped to embrace the skills needed to thrive in this unknown future.
Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, has noted that a fundamental lack of confidence can hold women back. This is why we are dedicated to building that confidence from a young age.
St. Dominic’s Approach to Confidence
According to the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools, single-sex environments are ideal for developing a girl’s confidence. In our classrooms, learning is the priority. Every role, whether in a play, on a team, or in a classroom discussion, is filled by a girl. This provides a wealth of opportunities for self-exploration and development. They also benefit from a powerful network of peer role models.
At St. Dominic’s, we work diligently to cultivate self-confidence in all aspects of school life:
- Spiritually and Morally: Fostering a strong sense of self-worth.
- Academically: Encouraging a “you can do this” growth mindset.
- On the Sports Field and in Cultural Activities: Providing avenues for leadership and self-expression.
- Through Leadership Programs: Giving girls the skills and experience to lead with conviction.
Our ultimate wish is to equip your daughter with the essential skills for 21st-century learning, so she understands that no dream is too big and no ceiling is too high.
