Academic Departments
Learn Without Hesitation
We calculate vector functions, debate literary themes, analyze ecological changes in the Chesapeake watershed. We are girls intent on finding out.
Surrounded and supported by talented educators who create experiential, highly personal curricula, we see each day of our education — and of our lives — as an opportunity to explore and collaborate. We become not only leaders, but fearless leaders on a lifelong quest for learning — one that doesn’t stop at college.
