SINGLE GENDER EDUCATION Students enrolled at Utopian Academy for the Arts will take core classes with peers of the same gender. The rationale for the enrollment plan for Utopian Academy for the Arts is to provide a significant educational benefit of having gender-based classroom environments. In the last few years the creation of single-gender schools has been embraced in various parts of the U.S. as a strategy for ameliorating the risks and hardships commonly associated with the academic performance and social development of Black and Latino students. Many theories have been offered as a reason that single-gender learning environments work better for some students. In single-gender schools, preoccupation with neighboring students of the opposite gender is eliminated, allowing for a more single-minded focus on academics. Our school design has been strategically informed by research on the efficacy of a gender-based educational model for our student population.
