Why should you choose Online School for Girls?
We only teach girls. In OSG classes, with no more than twenty students, girls are known, appreciated, and with their teacher, they create a learning experience with their peers around the nation and the world. Above all else, we work hard to create the best classroom experience specifically tailored to the ways that girls learn best.
Research has established a well-documented advantage in all-girls education. These advantages have been reaping benefits for girls and young women in campus-based all-girls schools for a long time. In the 21st century we are finding that girls interact with technology differently than boys – have different experiences in technology-rich environments – literally see the technology landscape differently than boys. Co-ed online schools do not – cannot – focus on these important differences. The Online School for Girls stands alone as the online educational option that understands the unique position girls occupy in the online educational space.
Guided by current research on how girls learn best, the School has dedicated itself to the following principles:
Connection – Emphasize connection among participants
Collaboration - Incorporate collaboration into the learning experience
Creativity - Inspire and reward creativity
Application - Engage in real-world problems and applications while
having students probe the social and ethical dynamics that
define and stretch our global society
Our teachers are scholars and faculty leaders at their home campuses, leading initiatives in STEM curriculum and partnerships, global programs, and leadership development. Their schools are nationally known for high-achieving students, excellent teaching, and rigorous college preparatory curriculum within an educational experience grounded in a passionate love of learning and nurtured by faculty constantly engaged in incorporating fresh and novel approaches to their craft.
Our teachers know that girls need to feel strong connections with their peers and with their teachers. They know that girls need to work collaboratively in the classroom. They know that girls need to work creatively. And, they know that girls learn best when applying their knowledge to real-world problems.
More than a remote, individualized online curriculum, an OSG class is an active, engaging classroom experience, as OSG teachers reach out to each student personally, sincerely, and respectfully, building confidence and inspiring a community of learners.
More than an online program, Online School for Girls is a school—a school whose teachers are dogged advocates for young women who will assume positions of leadership in the 21st century and beyond.
