Purnell takes pride in teaching girls who have different learning styles and tailoring them to success depending on their interests and skills. The small and nurturing school transforms young women and guides them on their journey in becoming able learners and confident leaders. Purnell’s vision is, “to ensure girls discover their untapped strengths and potential, so that they are transformed into confident women.” Purnell understands that education is not a “one size fits all” situation.
