All-girls schools recognize and focus on the par cular ways girls learn and research indicates they produce graduates who achieve greater academic success, are more self-confident and develop stronger leadership skills. Young women at single gender schools are more likely to explore non-tradi onal subjects, are able to experience various leadership opportuni es and have more diverse role models of their own gender. In 2008, St. Michael's College School of Toronto and the Felician Sisters of Mississauga, two icons in educa on with long tradi ons of academic excellence, came together to establish Holy Name of Mary College School as a private all-girls school. Margaret DeCourcy, school President, was instrumental in the planning and execu on of this vision: "Our Catholic core values are integrated into both the curriculum and daily life at school. A sense of dignity and respect for each other provides the founda on for our school. This promotes connectedness and belonging and ensures a safe and suppor ve learning environment which is so cri cal to the success of young women. We help inspire young women so that they can inspire the world."
