We are uniquely suited to help young women flourish.
Every aspect of a Montrose education is aimed at answering the essential question: What do girls need to flourish and to become the best version of themselves for others?
With decades of experience in single-sex education, we empower our girls by teaching them the way they learn best. Our rich liberal arts curriculum and nationally recognized character & leadership program are designed to educate and inspire young people – specifically, young women. Every aspect of our program, from our classroom design to our pedagogy, is designed to reflect how girls learn best.
At a time when girls’ academic achievement, sense of identity, aspirations and overall well-being are being challenged, Montrose School is countercultural, calling girls to greatness.
We value the dignity of each young woman and help her to reach her highest potential by developing the good habits of mind, heart and character she needs to use her freedom well.
Our outstanding faculty, staff, coaches and mentors create an environment where girls can take on challenges and opportunities in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities with confidence and a spirit of adventure.
"Early adolescent girls in single-sex schools experience lower levels of stress than coeducational schoolgirls do . . . this effect is largely accounted for by sense of belonging."Herman Brutsaert & Mieke Van Houtte, Ghent University |
"As a college professor I could identify the students from girls' schools with a 90 percent accuracy rate on the first day of class. They were the young women whose hands shot up in the air, who were not afraid to defend their positions, and who assumed that I would be interested in their perspective."Dr. Robin Robertson, Professor, Louisiana State University, Girls' School Principal |
"One of the key arguments supporting single-sex programs is that they create an institutional and classroom climate in which female students can express themselves freely and frequently, and develop higher order thinking skills."Dr. Rosemary Salomone, Columbia University's Teacher College Record |
"When girls go to single-sex schools, they stop being the audience and become the players."Maya and David Sadker, American University Researchers |
Our students hear often that as young women, they are:
