Laurel School

A nationally recognized school for girls and the site of pioneering research on the development of girls, Laurel School is the ideal home for the Center for Research on Girls. 

CRG is dedicated to providing a bridge between the important research being done in universities and research centers around the world and the experience of girls learning in the classroom. Wherever girls are taught, CRG wants to help maximize that learning experience by equipping teachers with curricula based on evidence about what girls need and how girls learn best.
