The odds are stacked against girls from the moment they are born. Despite our hopes, women still earn less and are discriminated against more than men in the 21st century.

We can help ensure a more equitable world by raising girls to be smart, strong, and independent. In order to raise girls in this way, we must ensure that their education complements the values they are taught at home.

How does an ideal education for your daughter look?

Does it encourage bravery? Is it an education that challenges perceptions of what a woman is capable of and what she should be able to do on a social, academic, and creative level? Do you hope it teaches your daughter about responsibility and how to contribute to the world, both actively and positively?

If so, MLC School may be the perfect fit for your daughter. Their mission is to ‘educate young women to be fearless thinkers with moral courage and compassion to be agents of change in their own lives and the lives of others.’
