girls school
Single-sex female education
A girls school is an educational institution that admits only female students.
Such schools exist at all levels from elementary through university, and may be public or private.
Advocates argue single-sex education reduces distractions and addresses girls' learning styles; critics question whether separation prepares students for mixed environments.
Also spelled *girl's school* or *girls' school*.
