In 1996, Ann and Andrew Tisch partnered with the New York City Board of Education to open The Young Women’s Leadership School (TYWLS) of East Harlem – the first all-girls public school to open in the United States in 30 years. Their vision was to provide girls growing up in low-income communities with a high-quality college preparatory education based on the finest private school models. Today, Student Leadership Network (formerly known as Young Women’s Leadership Network) impacts more than 2,400 students at our five all-girls public schools in New York City and nearly 8,000 at our 15 national Young Women’s Leadership Network affiliates. Moreover, the success of our girls’ schools has inspired dozens of single-sex schools to open nationwide.
