Message From The President

A Message from the President

College professors will tell you that they know from the first day of class which girls attended all-girls’ schools. Of course we know you’re looking for high school, not college. But the academic goal of high school? It’s to prepare you to succeed at the college of your choice. So, yeah, it matters what college admissions counselors and professors say. And what they say is that young women who have attended all-girls’ schools are not afraid to speak up because they have spent four years being the only leaders in all areas of the classroom, field and activities.

There’s never been a more vital time to be involved in the mission of educating young women. At Beaumont School, not only are we educating you with academic rigor, we also are modeling and providing opportunities for you to “do good” in the world.

More than just getting an A in biology, the young women of Beaumont are given opportunities to apply that knowledge in a lab setting. They aren’t just writing college-level research papers through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, they are advocating for issues that matter to them. They aren’t just learning French, they travel to France and Italy and are given opportunities to use their language skills in other countries. They are able to translate mathematics and physics into robots that smash the competition. They unite their passions for art and science to design objects for everyday use. They learn how to create one sound out of many voices and to express themselves on the canvas, stage and field.

Why are we so confident? We’ve got a LOT of experience doing this. As the oldest school in Cleveland, we know a thing or two about educating young women. We know that it’s important to keep it small, to focus on you, to be interactive and allow participation, to create independent thinkers and to develop you as a whole person.

That’s our Ursuline tradition, inspired by St. Angela Merici. St. Angela knew and understood people, understood the benefits of educating women and believed in their power to transform society one person at a time.

That’s what awaits you at Beaumont School. So turn the page, visit our website, schedule a visit and find out how you can learn to change the world!

In St. Angela,

Wendy A. Hoke President
