Developing Confident Girls

Choosing an all-girls high school for your daughter can help develop her confidence. Research shows that students in all-girls schools are more comfortable being themselves at school, which means they are free to focus their energies on their learning.

At Marian, we have over 65 years of experience in educating young women. With more than 10,000 alumnae who are leaders in their professions and communities, we’ve seen how Marian’s supportive environment nurtures confident women. Here’s how:

• Smart is Cool – An atmosphere of achievement is supported by both faculty and peers. Good grades and challenging courses are important to our students. Your daughter will receive the support she needs to become a confident student through the math tutoring center, peer tutoring program and dedicated student success coordinator.

• Supportive Sisterhood – The girls encourage each other to be confident in who they are without the pressures of appearance or social status. Brainy, sporty, techie, hip, artistic – being yourself and doing your best is encouraged.

• Take a Risk – A safe and supportive environment allows students to branch out and try new things. Clubs, athletics and extra-curricular activities support a variety of interests and provide multiple leadership opportunities.

• Free to Focus – When you remove boys from the classroom, girls can focus on what’s important – academics and friendships. Your daughter will meet girls from across the metro who will become lifelong friends.

• Outstanding Faculty – Marian teachers want your daughter to succeed. She’ll be expected to speak up and contribute in class and she’ll learn to express herself in a respectful and confident manner.
