Holton-Arms School (MD) Selects Connor Associates

Connor Associates looks forward to working with Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland.

Founded more than a century ago, Holton-Arms School encourages young women to approach the world with a thirst for challenge, unflinching curiosity, and a sense of responsibility to use what they learn for the greatest good.

Holton is an independent college-preparatory school for girls in grades 3–12.

With a powerful school motto of “I will find a way or make one,” Holton students are positioned to have the determination to make a difference in a complex and changing world. The advantage and merit of a Holton-Arms education is further demonstrated by its long list of accomplished alumnae.

According to a survey conducted by the International Coalition of Girls Schools, girls' school graduates:

  • Consistently assess their abilities, self-confidence, engagement and ambition as either above average or in the top 10 percent.

  • Have more confidence in their mathematics and computer abilities and study longer hours compared to their coed peers.

  • Were very or extremely satisfied with their preparation for the academic challenges of college.

  • Would probably or definitely attend a girls' school if they had to do it all over again.

  • Agreed that girls' schools provide greater leadership opportunities than coed schools.

Connor Associates is pleased to work with Holton-Arms School, a national leader in education in an all-girls environment.
