Our independent
high school
environment allows
girls to challenge
themselves,
express
themselves, and
to prepare for
success in college
and adulthood.
our neighborhood includes
walks to coffee shops (includ-
ing Starbucks!), a bookstore,
art galleries, a huge park,
shopping and restaurants. In
2019-20, our residential stu-
dents will live and learn with
girls from around the world
including: Argentina, Baha-
mas, China, France, Germany,
Kenya, Korea and Vietnam.
At SEM we believe in
standards, but not standardization.
Non-denominational and non-uni-
form, our independent high school
environment allows
girls to challenge
themselves, express
themselves, and to
prepare for suc-
cess in college and
adulthood.
Research pro-
vided by National
Coalition of Girls
Schools (NCGS) is
clear on the benefits
of girls’ school: developmentally,
academically, and in higher educa-
tion goals and career outcomes, girls’
schools foster extraordinary leader-
ship and scholarship. Perhaps most
importantly, they unfetter girls from
worrying about how they look and
from the fear of trying and failing
while boys are watching. At SEM,
instead, girls are supported, encour-
aged, respected, and listened to by
their peers and their teachers who
understand what girls specifically
need and how they learn best.
Our STEAM curriculum, class-
room integrated technology and
laptop program allow girls to explore
new possibilities for themselves in the
science, technology, engineering, art
& design, and mathematics fields.
Girls’ school grads are six times more
likely to considering majoring in math,
science, and technology compared to
girls who attend coed schools. Com-
pared to coed peers, girls’ school grads
are three times more likely to consider
engineering careers.
Students who thrive at SEM are
motivated to widen their perspec-
tives, contribute to community,
and to set goals and learn from the
process of reaching for them. peers
at coed schools and 80% have held
leadership positions since graduating
from high school. All-girls learning
environments champion the edu-
cational needs of girls as a group
currently underrepresented in STEM
majors and careers.
Our oldest
tradition is
forward thinking
Among the oldest girls' schools
in the U.S., SEM has created a
culture of achievement,
scholarship and leadership,
designed for girls since 1851.
Our alumnae network spans
the globe and our students hail
from 5 continents.
