Julia Morgan School for Girls - Where a Girl's Imagination Can Soar!

OUR MISSION

The primary objective of Julia Morgan School is to prepare our students to be the confident, capable, creative, and compassionate women of tomorrow.

We are dedicated to the intellectual, creative, social and emotional growth of girls during their critical middle school years. Our goal is to provide educational opportunities and positive role models not fully afforded girls in coeducational institutions. We strive to create an arena for academic excellence, critical thinking, positive risk-taking, and the development of individual talents. Learning will extend beyond the walls of the classroom into the community to foster compassion and social responsibility.

Julia Morgan School is committed to creating a school community that reflects the remarkable diversity of the East Bay. In addition, we aspire to serve as a resource on girls’ education for public and independent school educators.

LATEST RESEARCH ON MATH ABILITY, GENDER EQUITY
In the latest issue of American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin, University of California, Berkeley professor Marcia Linn, along with fellow researchers, found that "girls will perform at the same level as their male classmates when they are encouraged to succeed, are given the necessary educational tools, and have visible female role models excelling mathematics".
