Philosophy

A beacon of our program is to encourage the development of student agency. Agency is the ability to make decisions about one’s life and take actions to achieve a desired outcome and is critical in the development of global citizenship. As an all-girls school, we are uniquely positioned to show our students that it is acceptable to make a mistake—to sometimes fail when boldly attempting something new. At McGehee, out of the gaze of boys, our students can confidently develop a voice to express informed opinions, the ability to make decisions, the development of self-confidence, a capacity to organize, and the vision or ability to motivate others.
