Why a Girls' School?
In 1996, Ann and Andrew Tisch partnered with New York City Public Schools to open The Young Women’s Leadership School (TYWLS) of Manhattan – the first girls' public school to open in the United States in 30 years. Their vision was to provide girls growing up in underserved communities with a high-quality college preparatory education based on the finest private school models.
Today, Student Leadership Network's Young Women’s Leadership model elevates practices in girls'+ schools that lead to success and ultimately change the face of leadership. It is currently being implemented at 24 schools nationwide. TYWLS Manhattan's holistic approach to education addresses the “whole girl” — developing competence in four core areas: leadership development, college and career awareness, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and health and wellness. Our programming supports the comprehensive growth of our students, preparing them to thrive in a range of environments and challenges.
