Beaumont School

College professors will tell you that they know from the first day of class which girls attended all-girls' schools. They are not afraid to speak up because they have spent four years being the only leaders in all areas—the classroom, athletic field and activities. There's never been a more vital time to be involved in the mission of educating young women. At Beaumont School, not only are we educating them with academic rigor, we also are modeling and providing opportunities for them to "do good" in the world. More than just getting an A in biology, the young women of Beaumont are given opportunities to apply that knowledge in a medical lab setting. They aren't just writing college-level research papers through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, they are advocating for issues that matter to them. They aren't just learning foreign languages, they are given opportunities to use those language skills in other countries. They are able to translate mathematics and physics into robots that literally smash the competition. They unite their passions for art and science to design objects for everyday use. They learn how to create one sound out of many voices and to express themselves on the canvas, stage and field. As the oldest school in Cleveland (founded in 1850), we know a thing or two about educating young women. We know that it's important to keep it small, to focus on the student, to be interactive and engage participation, to create independent thinkers and to develop the whole person. That's our Ursuline tradition, inspired by St. Angela Merici. St. Angela knew and understood people, believed in educating women, understood the need to adapt to time and culture, and believed in young women's power to transform society one person at a time. That's what awaits your daughter at Beaumont School. Visit www.beaumontschool.org, schedule a visit and find out how your daughter can learn to change the world!
