Since 1991, the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools (NCGS) has remained focused on one mission: empowering today's K-12 girls to be tomorrow's leaders. This mission is achieved through a combination of advocacy, research, networking and professional development for educators of girls. NCGS's commitment to preparing the next generation of women for success finds a perfect pairing with First Republic’s commitment to mission-driven nonprofits. NCGS considers First Republic a strategic partner and draws on the Bank's deep well of experience with independent schools in their ongoing development efforts on behalf of girls' schools worldwide.
