GSA schools come in many different shapes and sizes. Some cater exclusively for girls, others provide a predominantly girls-only environment with boys in the nursery and/or sixth form. Some follow a diamond model, with equal numbers of girls and boys but separate classrooms between the ages of 11 to 16.
Most of our schools teach A Levels in the sixth form. Around eight per cent teach the International Baccalaureate, either instead of A Levels or as an optional alternative.
The majority – 65 per cent – of GSA schools are day schools. Approximately 35 per cent provide full boarding facilities and the majority of these also offer flexi boarding, where pupils spend part of the week as a day pupil and part as a boarder.
We have city centre schools, leafy rural schools, intimate small schools and opportunity-packed larger schools. Each has its own distinct benefits just as each child has her own individual needs.
