WHY ALL GIRLS?
Watch to learn about the unique advantages of an all-girls education at La Pietra.
At La Pietra – Hawai‘i School for Girls, our mission is to educate young women to lead a life of purpose. Now, more than ever, an all-girls education provides students an opportunity to become confident, successful and resilient young women, giving them a voice and identity of their own.
Fostering Her Voice
Nearly 87% of girls’ school students feel their opinions are respected at their school compared to only 58% of girls at coeducational schools.
Developing Leadership Skills
93% of girls’ school graduates say they were offered greater leadership opportunities than coeducated peers and 80% have held leadership positions since graduating from high school.
Increasing Interest & Confidence in STEM
Girls’ school graduates are six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology compared to girls who attended coeducational schools.
