ARE SINGLE GENDER SCHOOLS A BETTER OPTION FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL?
Single gender schools have existed for centuries, with all-male colleges, prep schools, and military boarding schools helping to mold high-performing and respectable members of society. Yet, despite evidence that single gender academics could be beneficial to many students, some still regard the concept as “old fashioned”. Fortunately, the idea of such schools is facing a revival lately, as many educators search for new ways to better serve students, and the renewed interest in single-gender schools comes as a product of increased research into their benefits.

Today, students in single-sex education could stand to gain more confidence (both academically and personally), and achieve more in the scope of their ambitions compared to their peers in co-ed schools. Following are just some of the instances where single gender schools may provide a better option for exceptional education.
