We Are a School for Girls

The women who founded SMLS in 1891 wove the DNA of women can and will into the fabric of this school. Even then, they knew a women's place should be of her choosing. Over 130 years later, we continue to build on our profound understanding of how girls learn.

Anchored in a nurturing community of exceptionally committed educators and supportive peers, SMLS is where girls go to create the best version of themselves. This is the place where the new, the unfamiliar, even the seemingly impossible, becomes I got this.

Through unique Signature Programming, dedicated expertise in both girls’ education and a personalized approach to education, SMLS students benefit from an enhanced academic program, leadership development, and practical, real-world education.

Each year, graduates of SMLS’s educational program receive admissions to top-choice universities around the globe alongside scholarships that cumulatively total over $1 million. Graduates from SMLS thrive in life beyond high school as well because they are well-prepared for the real world thanks to the practical components of the school’s programming, including professional internships, foundations in active healthy living, global competencies, and workshops for university preparations.
