The mission of the Young Women’s Institute is to equip young women to create, for themselves and future generations, a sustainable global future of greater personal, social, economic and environmental responsibility and caring – a world in which human beings and our natural habitat are truly valued and chronic violence and injustice are no longer seen as “just the way things are” (inspired by Riane Eisler, “Tomorrow’s Children”).

‘*’ Project-based learning (PBL) is an educational model that integrates content learning, with an emphasis on activities that are long-term, interdisciplinary, student driven, and integrated with real world issues.

‘**’ International Baccalaureate (IB) Program is a demanding pre-university course of study that gives students the possibility of taking classes for college credit.
