  3. Reinforce a 'can do' philosophy.
  4. Ensure that learning takes center stage, with social life reserved for time outside the classroom.
  5. Teach collaborative as well as competitive skills.
  6. Guarantee that math, science, and technology are integral parts of the curriculum.
  7. Promote athletic participation to encourage both leadership and team play.
  8. Maximize girls' verbal/writing skills in learning.
  9. Offer strong female role models.
  10. Emphasize 'real life' skills such as financial literacy, leadership, and service to community.
