Description

Hawthorn affiliates with the Young Women’s Leadership Network (“YWLN”) which supports five highly successful all-girls’ public schools in New York City and nine affiliate schools around the country. The YWLN model includes Daily Advisory in which a small group of girls meets each day with a faculty advisor. YWLN schools incorporate both a leadership and a health and wellness curriculum. A full time, trained college counselor works with the students beginning in 10th grade. Learning does not stop at the end of the regular school day; girls engage in programming after school and during the summer to strengthen their skills and expand their horizons. Uniforms are required. An all-girls’ school beginning at the 6th grade captures girls as they head into the tumultuous adolescent years. It is at this age that girls often begin to lose some of their earlier confidence and their self-esteem can begin to waver. Middle school girls who once saw themselves as curious and capable students, particularly in math and science, often begin to question their abilities. In a single sex environment, girls can thrive academically and socially, free from the distractions present in a coeducational school. Hawthorn girls have a real sense of belonging to a community that values them for their unique attributes and celebrates their strengths. The option of public single-sex education is not currently available in St. Louis. Hawthorn will be the first school of its kind, offering low-income families the opportunity to choose a single-sex education for their daughters. Hawthorn will provide its young women with the academic ability, self-esteem, and leadership skills that will enable them to succeed in college and beyond, forging pathways for themselves to bright futures.
