As defined by the Academic and School Life subcommittees of the board, the purpose of Girls Prepped is embedded in its motto: //Prepared for College//. //Prepared for Life.// A comprehensive, co-curricular program, Girls Prepped prepares a girl for a balanced life by promoting self-awareness, self-confidence, independence and active global citizenship. As we began to apply these goals, we recognized that the students we teach, regardless their age, have three basic questions to which they must respond: “What should we know about ourselves?” “What should we know about each other?” and “What should we know about our world?” To this end, the program is centered around two primary objectives: A conscious effort to determine and record the scope and sequencing of these goals and objectives has resulted in a program that spans all grades. Aspects of this program are evident in the classroom, on the athletic field, within our extracurricular offerings, and during our value added Girls Prepped time. Below is an overview of **Special Period and Z period opportunities** that exemplify the spirit of the Girls Prepped initiative. The 4 categories that we believe to be the most critical for our girls to lead a balanced life are Wellness, Relationships, Safety, and Life Skills.
