No One Knows Girls Like Agnes Irwin
Middle school is a period of significant change, development, and growth.

Are you eager for your daughter to thrive in middle school by building leadership skills, tackling complex problems, and forming lifelong friendships? Experience firsthand how days at Agnes Irwin, Niche's #1 all-girls school on the Main Line, are filled with excitement.

Middle School Leadership Keys
The Center for the Advancement of Girls partnered with Middle School faculty and staff to create the Leadership Keys Curriculum. This signature program for Agnes Irwin students focuses on the development of agency, confidence, empathy, and inclusivity as necessary attributes of successful leaders. Our girls engage in discussions and activities that aim to engrain the definitions, mindsets, and behaviours associated with the four keys.
