Alive And Well

Same-sex schools were far and few between just a few years ago. A few generations ago, academies for boys or girls were popular. They were boarding schools where the wealthy sent their children for a good education. The families could travel around the world knowing their child was safe and sound. While the academic results were good, many girls and boys colleges are closing their doors. Boarding schools are shrinking, as well.

However, the number of same-sex schools is growing tremendously with No Child Left Behind permission. Some say that these schools are educational explosions. The formats vary. Some variations are

  • Only boys in the building
  • Only girls in the building
  • Boys and girls in the same building but in separate classrooms
  • Boys and girls in the same building and together for some classes but divided for others

Growing Pains

Just like any new idea that goes against the grain of the status quo, same-sex schools are having some adjustment problems. Cincinnati schools are adjusting well.
