At the Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart . . . Girls are empowered to play all the roles in school life. At a girl's school, girls are the leaders, the captains of the team, the school newspaper editors, the class officers.
Every opportunity is open to girls.
Once you know how to take power, you can create that in another experience. Girls' voices are heard and their ideas are taken seriously. Girls will blossom in a setting where they can take risks without fear of the embarrassment they might feel in a mixed gender classroom. Girls' successes are celebrated by the school community which fosters higher expectations. At a women's school there is an unspoken validation and connectedness that encourages respect, affection and a deep sense of belonging.
