| Overview Paragraph | The Young WomenÂ’s Leadership School (TYWLS) nurtures the intellectual curiosity and creativity of young women by supporting the whole girl in order to maximize academic achievement, social-emotional well-being, and postsecondary success. TYWLS-Queens is supported by Young WomenÂ’s Leadership Network and its CollegeBound Initiative to replicate the best practices of private and independent girls schools. TYWLS-Queens opened in 2005 as the third school in the network. TYWLS-Queens strives to instill in students a sense of self-efficacy and community responsibility, characteristics that will support them as they become the leaders of the next generation. TYWLS-Queens expects families to play an active role in their daughtersÂ’ education. |
