Jean Forest All Girls Leadership Academy

By identifying female roles in society and understanding what women’s issues are in learning, working and living fully, the Jean Forest Leadership Academy will empower young women to achieve academically and grow spiritually by developing their gifts and talents.

Why consider an all girls academic setting?

Studies show that girls in all-girls' schools:

• Do better all-round academically and in examinations for university entrance
• Are more likely to choose math and science courses and excel in these areas
• Are more likely to go on to post secondary education
• Have a greater sense of self esteem
• Have less stereotyped views of men's versus women's occupations.

Other studies have surveyed women years after they graduated from all-girls' schools relative to their counterparts from similar co-educational institutions.

The study results indicate that the graduates from all-girls' schools are:

• Much more likely to graduate from college or university
• More likely to obtain doctorates
• More likely to be professionals or hold executive or managerial positions in business
• More financially successful
• More active in community organizations.

Mission Statement

The mission of the academy is, “To provide the finest Christ-centred learning environment which inspires young women to develop spirit, leadership, intellect, self-discovery and service."
