First-Year Formation
New Woman Masterclass
A comprehensive program helping women develop the mindset, skills, habits, and personal architecture needed to flourish across the essential arenas of life.
View ProgramThe Woman School prepares women not only for careers, but for life.
Live classrooms. An assigned formator. A comprehensive curriculum built for the arenas that shape a woman's daily life. This is formation, not another library of lectures.
Classrooms of 25, meeting twice each month.
But where is a woman taught how to build a whole life? Our schools prepare women academically and professionally, then leave the rest to trial and error.
The Woman School exists to provide the formation that traditional education does not.
Formation is the ongoing work of developing the mindset, practical skills, habits, self-knowledge, and relational capacity required to live well. It helps a woman take what she knows and build it into the way she lives.
We prepare women not only for professional achievement, but for the fullness of life.
A student may first enroll in college and return as a professional, a newlywed, a mother, a leader, a mentor, and eventually a member of the faculty.
Technology delivers the curriculum. Faculty makes it formation. Neither works alone.
Each program combines a complete curriculum, practical assignments, a live faculty-led classroom, and a community of women in the same season.

Faculty makes it formation.
Every student is placed in a small classroom led by a trained formator who guides discussion, encourages practical application, and holds her accountable to the work. You choose your formator, your day, and your time before you enroll.
The Woman School is faculty-centered, not content-centered. Our formators are trained to guide discussion, support application, and hold a classroom culture of excellence and honesty.

For decades, January Donovan worked with women across cultures, professions, vocations, and seasons of life. Again and again she met intelligent, capable women who had never received an integrated education for how to live well.
The Woman School was created to answer that need. Not with another collection of inspirational ideas, but with a formation methodology, a faculty, and an academic structure designed for the whole woman.
You do not need more information to consume. You need a pathway that helps you integrate what matters and become the woman you are called to be.
The future of women is formed.
