If we set the standard, our daughters will rise to the challenge. We emphasize the importance of leadership through scholarship and service. “One leader changes everything” is not just a slogan students hear; it is a belief they are taught to manifest.All GirlsThere are three major advantages for girls who are educated in a single-gender school, include expanded educational opportunity, custom-tailored learning and instruction, and greater autonomy of thought and expression. Single-gender schools help to foster an environment where their students think for themselves and take control of their own lives. By eliminating false gender stereotypes, all female schools can liberate and empower their girls to explore various subjects and pursue excellence in all disciplines. It is for these reasons that ALH believes that the opportunity to experience a single-gender education, should be one that is offered freely to any and all girls who would choose it.SUMMARY: A school nurse provides healthcare for school-aged students within an educational system.
