Thanks to our small class sizes, our students learn that there is enormous potential and power in being in an all girls’ environment. McGehee is a school of girls for girls. Our students understand that they can do anything because here girls fill every role.

We know that choosing an independent school comes with a large financial commitment. A significant portion of our student body receives financial assistance to help cover the cost of tuition; we work hard to make our offerings accessible and inclusive.

Our low student to teacher ratio encourages girls to question, participate, lead and excel. At McGehee, each girl finds her voice, strives to meet her potential and deliver her best. Our extraordinary faculty respects the way girls learn and teaches with a curriculum that goes beyond the walls of the classroom.

Beginning in Pre-K, service takes many forms during a student’s tenure at McGehee and permeates everything she does. No young woman leaves McGehee without knowing that her place in the world involves service to others.

McGehee’s Honor Code is the oldest in the city, adopted in 1921 along with its essential partner self-government. The Honor Code is one of the defining elements at McGehee and serves as a moral compass with an emphasis on self-accountability.
