The Girls Middle School (GMS) nurtures, empowers, and educates girls during a pivotal time in grades 6-8. The school's project-based, hands-on curriculum encourages girls to collaborate, think critically, and experience the joy of learning. Through practice, girls grow to value their voices, develop empathy, and set and reach their personal goals. By offering non-traditional educational opportunities, respecting teachers' independence and assessing students authentically, GMS has a community in which girls take risks, expand their horizons, and realize their potential. By intentionally recruiting a diverse group of high-achieving girls, GMS works toward a more equitable world.
