All Girls Schools Incubate Winning Scholars
Commentary by Betty White, The Honolulu Advertiser (from March 27, 2009)
(Honolulu, HI) -- “For the past two decades, educators have observed that girls tend to slide in confidence and academic achievement in early adolescence. As a result, interest in an all-girls' education has risen, first in the private sector and, more recently, in the public sector, following the U.S. Department of Education's 2006 authorization for single-sex classes in public schools under Title IX.” The author is the head of school at Sacred Hearts Academy.

Rewards greater for women from all-girl schools
Commentary by Ann Teaff, The Tennessean, April 6, 2009
(Nashville, TN) -- "...It was with great relish that I read the results of a just-released study by UCLA and supported by the National Coalition of Girls' Schools. The study, based on survey data from more than 20,000 college women, showed that women who attended single-gender high schools reported significantly higher gains in nine key areas when compared to their counterparts who attended private, coed schools."
