Studies show that girls who attend same-sex high schools are more likely to participate in class, and feel more open to asking questions. At Academy, this can prompt students to ask questions that one simply cannot make up at any other school.
“Can we PLEASE leave class early to get smoothies?”
“Can’t we just take the elevator to the fourth floor?”
“Could I get five beta hours for erasing the board?”
“If you are referring to God, do you capitalize the ‘h’ in him?”
“What do you mean I have to wear my mass uniform tomorrow?”
“Wait, we aren’t allowed to wear leggings on the retreat?”
“Do you think she would notice if I tried to eat my snack in the iLab?”
“Can Poetry Out Loud be optional?”
“Is it bad that I haven’t shaved in a month?”
“Will she notice if I say I’m going to the bathroom but go to Sage instead?”
