When schooling and education first began to develop beyond the confines of one's own home and family, the first academies were often separated by gender, such as all girl boarding schools and institutions that catered solely to boys. Even many of the private schools that are co-ed today have separate halls and facilities, where at one time two academies existed, one for girls and one for boys. Though many learning institutions today have abolished this type of setup there has been evidence presented that there are many valid benefits to separating the two genders during learning time, prompting many schools, even some public schools, to experiment with gender separation.

One of the main arguments for separating the sexes is that during puberty, children are often more comfortable learning and speaking with same-sex peer groups. This is noticeable in the way that male and female children, when allowed to separate themselves into learning or study groups, often naturally divide based on their sex. Though this may not be as obvious with little children or those who've entered college, teenagers of middle and high school age are often shy and embarrassed when speaking in front of peers of the opposite sex.

The fact that children are usually uncomfortable or embarrassed leads to fewer students talking openly in class, less sharing, and therefore less cooperative education occurs. When gender is segregated, students often start to interact more, which in turn tends to bring about a better learning environment and higher grades follow suit.

Some boarding academies strive to offer therapeutic treatment for students who are going through any number of issues at home, recovering from addiction, or suffering from some sort of mental illness. Therapy typically works out better when student peer groups are made up of only one gender, because most adolescent students are more comfortable talking about private issues and personal feelings when they are only with same-sex peers. There is a sense of companionship, sharing, and closeness in these situations that doesn't seem to be as present when the genders are mixed. This is likely even truer when the issue that is being tackled is one that is particularly prevalent among young females, such as eating disorders or sexual abuse.

These are only some of the reasons to consider one of the many highly praised, girl boarding schools when seeking out an academic learning institute for your adolescent daughter. Apart from the sampling of benefits discussed above, many others can be found with a bit of research into the subject.
