A Caedmon Alumni Panel: Do Single-Gender Schools Help Our Children? How Does the Experience Differ From a Co-educational School?
Thursday, April 20 | 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. | The Caedmon School  | RSVP
FACES of Diversity of the CFA continues the discussion on Gender. Often hailed as breaking down stereotypes and limiting in-school distractions, single-sex education has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. But is it the way to go? We're going right to the source to learn more about the pros and cons of this educational approach and to see how it differs from a co-ed experience. Please join us on April 20th to hear from Caedmon alumni about their experiences in single-gender, as well as co-ed middle and high schools throughout the city. Moderated by Matthew Stuart, this event will help you discover the type of learning environment in which your future middle and high schooler may thrive. Refreshments will be served. RSVP for this event here .

Please note: Childcare is available for free; please contact Andrew Kagan at kagan@caedmonschool.org to reserve your space.
