From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A single-sex school is a school that accepts boys or girls exclusively. This has been the traditional situation for independent schools, especially public schools and grammar schools in the United Kingdom, but many of these have now become coeducational. Though in the Middle East in most schools it is mandatory for schools to be single-sex schools.

In the United States, single-sex public schools are in many cases considered unconstitutional, for similar reasons against racial segregation in schools before the civil rights movement; equal but separate is never possible.[1]
