GIRLS THRIVE ON MAKING CONNECTIONS; BETWEEN PEOPLE, AS WELL AS BETWEEN DISCIPLINES. THAT BEING THE CASE, ARCHER PROMOTES THESE CONNECTIONS FROM THE START. 0 0 13492292 2106279 14584732 ARCHER IS AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, WITH APPROXIMATELY 445 FROM GRADES SIX TO TWELVE DURING YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010.FOUNDED ON THE COMPELLING RESEARCH ON HOW GIRLS LEARN BEST, THE ARCHER SCHOOL EDUCATES GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.
