Esse Quam Videri

The premier edition of EQV magazine came out recently. The stories highlight the many ways our current students and alumnae impact the world, especially in the fields of science and medicine.

Our focus as a school has always been to form young women of substance and character who contribute to building a better world through the use of their intellect and the skills, knowledge, and values they develop here. The pressures young people have as they form their identities, especially in the age of social media, make our mission critically important to their lives and the lives of the people they will touch.
