Vision

secondary education for young women. It will foster a community of scholars dedicated to

Commitment to Excellence
ALH is a family with the highest of expectations for our daughters, particularly in regards to
academic achievement. Our goal is to position our girls so that their senior year can be focused
on successfully transitioning to their post-secondary pursuits. If we set the standard, our
daughters will rise to the challenge. We emphasize the importance of leadership through
scholarship and service. “One leader changes everything” is not just a slogan students hear; it is
a belief they are taught to manifest.

All Girls
There are three major advantages for girls who are educated in a single gender school, include:
expanded educational opportunity, custom-tailored learning and instruction, and greater
autonomy of thought and expression. Single gender schools help to foster an environment
where their students think for themselves and take control of their own lives. By eliminating
false gender stereotypes, all female schools can liberate and empower their girls to explore
various subjects and pursue excellence in all disciplines. It is for these reasons that ALH
believes that the opportunity to experience a single-gender education, should be one that is
offered freely to any and all girls who would choose it.
