School Notes
The Girls' School a unique learning environment in Austin.
Embracing a liberal arts program including visual and performing
arts, and Spanish beginning in Kindergarten, our girl-centric
classrooms mean that it is easier for students to focus on
academics in a community of like-minded peers. This is a school
where girls come first. A typical Girls' School student is smart,
creative, and willing to "dig in." In this past year, digging in
included laying sod on our bare fields, moving monstrous compost
piles, and participating in robotics, speech, art, music and
writing competitions; whatever the challenge, GSA girls are ready
to embrace it. This is a school where learning about each other is
as important as learning "stuff," although there is certainly
plenty of that. Students eagerly share their work at weekly
community meetings, and have been extraordinarily successful in
regional and state competitions in many areas of the
curriculum.
Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
The average private school tuition in Austin, TX is $11,444 for elementary schools and $14,172 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
