NEW All-Girls Advantage

The Trafalgar Difference

For more than 130 years, Trafalgar has been bringing out the best in girls. Our teachers know their students — not just academically, but as individuals — and design their classrooms around how girls actually learn, lead, and grow. To stay at the leading edge of girls' education, Trafalgar is an active member of the International Coalition of Girls' Schools (ICGS), connecting our educators with the latest research and with colleagues at girls' schools around the world.

In Their Own Words

"There was a lot of weight lifted off me. I could just be a girl, surrounded by girls. I didn't fully see the value of that while I was at Traf, but the moment I left, I did."

Trafalgar Alumna

"Having an all-girls education — being surrounded by women — was very inspiring. It teaches you that women can achieve everything. It puts you into the world knowing you can do whatever you want to do."
