Girls Schools

Catholic girls' schools empower young women to lead confidently, excel academically, and live purposefully. Backed by research and rooted in the Church’s vision of the feminine genius, their graduates thrive in college, career, and community. At Partners in Mission, we’ve led these schools ourselves and are passionately committed to their vitality. We bring proven strategies and deep expertise in enrollment, fundraising, and branding to help advance your mission.
