4. Discover Your New Passion

At Pres, some of the most important discoveries happen beyond the classroom. Whether performing on stage, building a robot, competing on a team, leading her peers or serving through Campus Ministry, every student has opportunities to try something new, pursue what excites her and discover strengths she may not have known she had.

5. Built for Girls

At Pres, girls take center stage. They lead the teams, run the clubs, build the robots, take the mic and speak up in the classroom. In an environment designed for them, students are encouraged to take risks, explore new possibilities and discover just how capable they are. They leave Pres with the confidence to take their seat at any table—and the courage to use their voice when they get there.
