Excerpt from the article:
Head of School Elizabeth English said the lab will provide the students at this all-girl school the opportunities to succeed in media and film. Just 21 percent of filmmakers, seven percent of directors and 20 percent of writers are women. Just 20 percent of films, too, have a female protagonist, she said.
“The message our daughters are getting on television is depressing,” English said. “And the way you get to change that is to make more women in control of that content.”
Archer's MediaSpace has the latest in digital video technology with 12 editing bays, a sound proof recording studio and a lighting studio with an infinity wall and green screen.
The Archer School for Girls admits students of any race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status in its hiring or in the administration of its educational policies and programs, admissions policies, financial aid programs or other school-administered programs.
The Archer School for Girls’ mission is to educate students in an environment specifically designed for girls. As such, the school will consider any candidate for admission who identifies as a girl. Once admitted to Archer, all students in good academic standing who abide by Archer’s code of conduct and who meet requirements for graduation will be eligible to receive an Archer diploma, regardless of any change in sexual identity or other legally protected status.
