all-girls schools
Single-sex female education
All-girls schools are educational institutions that enroll only female students.
They exist at every level from elementary through university, though the term most commonly refers to secondary schools.
Proponents argue they reduce social distractions and allow girls to develop confidence in traditionally male-dominated subjects: She thrived at her all-girls school.
The hyphenated form functions as a compound adjective: an all-girls school environment.
