All-girl Advantage

“Being a Trafalgar girl means I can be whoever I want to be
as a girl and I can stand up for who I am.”

— Lexi F., Junior School Student

THE POWER OF AN ALL-GIRL ENVIRONMENT

In an all-girls environment, girls are free from the distractions or pressures that can occur in a co-ed school. At a school for girls, they can be themselves and focus on growing as young women, bold leaders, and compassionate global citizens without ever having to wonder how they are being perceived by boys. They feel free to take risks, speak their minds, tackle challenges, and even fail without social pressure.

Trafalgar Castle School students are surrounded and empowered by driven girls and women who excel in science, technology, engineering, math, the arts, and athletics.

At Trafalgar, the most creative, collaborative, supportive or brilliant student in science, arts or math is a girl. Girls lead the robotics team. The school band and choirs are made up of talented girls.

Our alumnae are women leaders in a wide range of fields, from engineering, medicine and law to entertainment, marketing and more.

Our students feel confident taking on any challenge and striving for greatness because they’ve been given no reason to believe they can’t.
