What's Best? Single-Sex or Coed Schools
Whether our children are in elementary, middle or high school, we want to make sure they get the best possible education.
We hope they will be happy at school, excited about learning and challenged to study a wide range of subjects. We hope they will do well and will learn to respect and work effectively with others. We hope our children will fit in and make friends. We hope their experiences in school will make them feel good about themselves, and we hope school will teach our children what they will need to know to become successful adults.
When we consider the educational options for our children, we may wonder whether it is better to send my child to a single-sex or a coed school?"
There is no easy answer to this question. Even research comparing single-sex and coed schools has not resulted in definitive answers about which is better for children.
Knowing the advantages of each might help us decide.
