Yvonne Hopkins's Company Details
Atlanta Girls' School, an independent school for girls in grades 6–12, is a leadership engine dedicated to inspiring girls to lead lives of purpose. AGS uses research-driven, girl-centered strategies both inside and outside of the classroom to ensure a learning environment that is right for girls. Students learn to take appropriate risks, be courageous leaders, and give back to their communities.When AGS opened in 2000, Atlanta was the only city of its size in the U.S. without an all girls' school, and there had not been a single sex school for girls in more than 30 years. The founders of AGS saw the great value in what research proved then and still demonstrates today: the psychological, social, and academic benefits of a single sex education for adolescent girls. AGS now boasts more than 200 graduates who have matriculated at top ranking schools, including Harvard University, Yale University, Georgetown University, Johns Hopkins University, and Columbia University.
