Our schools shine as proof of the educational benefits of receiving an all-girls, college preparatory, public education. The schools offer young urban girls in Texas a choice in their education … a choice for a brighter educational future. Each school is built upon our core values of College Preparation, Responsible Leadership, and Wellness Life Skills.

College Preparation: FEYW’s ultimate goal is to have 100% of the students in its sponsored schools attend and graduate college. To this end, the schools’ offer a rigorous college preparatory curriculum that has been proven to raise expectations, increase educational performance, and inspire leadership among the students.
