What is the student culture like at Girls’ Middle School in Palo Alto?

At Girls’ Middle School, the student culture feels less like middle school and more like joining a squad of future world-changers. It is supportive, inclusive, and filled with the kind of energy that makes big dreams feel not just possible but expected.

Students are encouraged to be unapologetically themselves, take smart risks, lead bold projects, and throw confetti for each other’s successes (sometimes literally). Whether launching a nonprofit, building a robot, or organizing a spirit day, girls here grow into leaders, creators, and lifelong friends.

Think of it as a place where being smart is cool, kindness is powerful, and nobody has to choose between fitting in and standing out. Spoiler: they do both.
