JMSG

Julia Morgan School for Girls is the first and only all-girls middle school in the East Bay. Research shows that girls do better in an environment created specifically for them. According to the American Association of University Women, "curricula continue to reflect inequities, as materials by and about women remain peripheral, and teaching approaches continue to favor predominantly male interactional styles. Girls' self-esteem and confidence...particularly with regard to math and science, drop precipitously during their middle school years, narrowing their later choices of course work and career path." However, at JMSG, they are empowered to define themselves and their abilities free from stereotypes and ready to take on the world because of the confidence a girls' school fosters.
