The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders really lives up to its mission statement. Having the chance to attend the school for up to 6 years, the students really create a strong relationship with staff and faculty! From 6th to 11th grade, girls are required to take field trips to colleges where they're able to feel what it's like being on a college campus. In 11th grade, girls get the experience of having the ability to be an intern at a company based on the pathway they chose in 9th grade : engineering, media-tech, or bio-med. Such an amazing school, and great for preparing for college.
I liked that The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders is an all girls public school, allowing the opportunity for low income diverse students to experience a high education 6-12 community. The school is very tight knit and welcoming and prepares the students for college as well as open doors to new experiences such how to lead a healthy and well balanced life style,enagegment in STEM classes, weekly yoga and mindfullness. All around very balanced and challenging school for young women to grow and be a part of, especially those first generation students that majority attends the school. Great teachers, students and staff.
Although this school is an all girl school (which isn't as bad as you may think), I really did have a lot of opportunities available to me. I was able to go to different college campuses almost every school year and find something that interest me. I was pushed to be more advanced than the average high school student, which I really appreciated being there. I feel like I was more prepared than others going into school. Being in this school from middle school through high school, made me realize how much mature I got without having boys be there adding to any current distractions. Overall I would recommend this school to any girl because of how many doors it opened for me, from having college visits, having an internship as a junior, and being part of many wonderful groups.
