People say that the most confusing and most complicated creature made by God is woman. So what happens when you build an entire school just for women?
Studies show that girls who study in exclusive all-girls schools achieve greater in life. That's because these girls were given leadership opportunities and have the opportunity to try things that they normally wouldn't had they been enrolled in co-ed schools. Take for instance St. Theresa’s College. The school has produced graduates such as theater director Daisy Baad, news anchor Haide Acuña and Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia.
It also helps that in all-girls schools, girls are taught to outdo the stereotypes society dictates of them. In STC's Project Metamorphosis, women empowerment is emphasized but not in a sense that women try to outdo men but rather, that women strive for equality.
Girls are also taught to respect the lives of people especially the poor. STC's CI (Community Involvement) Program exposes students to the realities of society. They immerse students in poverty-stricken communities and encourage them to help the people in those areas. They give tutorials, workshops, organize Christmas parties, etc.
Contradictory to popular beliefs, there aren't any cat fights in all-girls schools. There might be arguments every once in a while but usually students talk it out. There's also mutual respect among students. It's common in STC for girls in lower levels to call girls in higher levels "ate." Healthy competition is also practiced through Intramurals. Every year, students get to compete against each other in different sports but not to the point where they clash. Girls in teams cooperate and coordinate with each other very well.
So really, being in an all-girls school doesn't sound so bad after all.
