The Bryn Mawr School is an independent, nonsectarian all-girls school for grades K-12, with a coed preschool. Founded in 1885, Bryn Mawr is one of the oldest college-preparatory schools for girls in the country. The school's five founders -- M. Carey Thomas, Mary Elizabeth Garrett, Julia Rogers, Mamie Gwinn and Elizabeth King -- were determined to offer girls the opportunity to receive the same quality of education then available to boys. It was a radical idea for its time. Guided by the school's first headmistress, the renowned classicist Edith Hamilton, Bryn Mawr became known as a center for academic rigor and inquiry, and maintains this reputation today. Bryn Mawr raises the bar for our students, and supports them as they strive to reach it. We are the school for those who value education as the key to a successful life, both in college and beyond. We balance superior academics with a nurturing environment, supporting each student at every turn. We are home to a spirited sisterhood where lifelong friendships are formed. Our goal is to help women succeed by empowering them. We are dedicated to providing young women with the opportunities they deserve. Our students question, lead, achieve and succeed, and they are passionate about lifelong learning. They know where they want to go and how to create the lives they want to live. They are creative thinkers. They are confident and resilient. They are dynamic, joyful, energetic, powerful and smart women who care for the world.
