Advocacy

Consider us the go-to place for girls’ education.

Within the Coalition’s wide array of resources, you will discover that:

  • Girls’ school students find their voice and excel in academics preparing them for a purposeful life.
  • In a girls’ school, a girl can comprehend her value and her capabilities in ways that have nothing to do with her gender. She can follow her ambitions without wasting a second thought or a backward glance on the roles society has tried to define for her.
  • Girls’ schools create a culture of achievement in which academic progress is of great importance, and the discovery and development of a girls’ individual potential is paramount. Time in the classroom is spent learning. When you combine strong female mentors and positive role models, reduced gender stereotyping in curriculum and classroom, and abundant learning opportunities, the results are clear.

Not-to-be-missed resources include Why Girls’ Schools, Quick Facts, and the Raising Girls’ Voices blog. Find member schools in your area with our Interactive Map & Membership Directory.

In the end, girls’ schools should not be judged by the absence of boys, but rather by the presence—the self-assurance, poise, and derring-do—of the girls themselves.

For schools, champion the unique benefits of girls’ schools by using Coalition advocacy resources to enhance websites, empower leaders with information, engage prospects, and educate your communities. We encourage you to share our research-supported outcomes on girls’ schools.


ICGS accepts proposals for guest submissions or guest opportunities related to advocacy resources hosted by the Coalition, including the Raising Girls’ Voices blog, On Educating Girls podcast, Coalition Connection newsletter, and social media platforms. All outreach will be reviewed for fit and appropriateness in order to determine whether or how proposals will be accepted and disseminated by ICGS.

Any material shared with the Coalition may be used by ICGS on its website and through other channels at its sole discretion.

We also accept submissions to our Events Calendar, and we welcome opportunities to assist member schools in publicizing initiatives that have broad public interest.
