** Or did at the time; nowadays it is mixed.

* Kuoh Academy from ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' was originally an all-girls school, but two years before they started to go co-ed; one of the reasons main protagonist [[LovableSexManiac Issei Hyoudou]] chose to go there was because he thought he'd be able to pick up girls more easily there [[HaremSeeker so he can build up his own harem]]. Unknown to most of the population, the reason behind this change is that Rias Gremory (whose family pretty much owns the Academy) started to attend classes there, and she wanted Kiba and Gasper to enroll there with the rest of her peerage.

* The main school in ''WesternAnimation/WendellAndWild'' predominately populated by female students. With the exception of Raul, since he is AFAB.

* According to the ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' manga the school that the girls go to was once an all-girls school. Nyamo and Yukari went to while it was still one. This causes [[AmbiguouslyBi interesting implications]] about [[NoodleIncident Nyamo's "love letter"]] incident.
** In both, Kimura brings up a conversation that he had with a teacher at a girls' high school. He apparently laments not being employed at one, as well, because they apparently let the students who have P.E. early in the day wear their P.E. uniforms and swimsuits to homeroom. Instead, ''he's'' a teacher at a co-ed high school, which not only has a lower percentage of students for him to be interested in ogling, but because of the boys, the girls have to confine their wearing of those outfits to P.E..

* In ''Manga/ArmedGirlsMachiavellism'' Aiichi Symbiosis School ''used'' to be a school for rich girls. This led to the current situation of [[AxesAtSchool all the girls carrying batons or other weapons]] (aside for the recent transfer thth [[RazorSharpHand can slash with her bare hands]]), the [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentsCouncil Five Supreme Swords]] carrying actual ''swords'' and being composed entirely of [[MasterSwordsman skilled swordsfighters]], and the boys being all former delinquents who have been beaten into submission: when the school got co-ed the students and their families demanded and obtained the right to carry weapons for self-defense against the expected molestations, the Disciplinary Committee rebranded itself as the Five Supreme Swords and started operating as a sword-armed vigilante group against the more blatant cases (and eventually usurped the actual students council), and they were so effective in keeping the rowdiest boys at bay that the school started taking in male delinquents to "coeducate" them. [[spoiler:It's later implied the administration wanted to make the school a place to raise skilled swordsfighters and just used the students' demands as an excuse]].

* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' and ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'' both feature the prestigious Tokiwadai Middle School, an all girl's school that only caters to very high levelled [[PsychicPowers Espers]].

* ''Literature/ShominSample'' takes place in a hidden all-female school where young ladies of good families are taught everything a high-class lady needs to know. Unfortunately, the extreme isolation from the modern world means that none of them know how to deal with it when their schooling ends, so the school owners decide to enroll a male commoner there to help ease them up the cultural shock. For some reason, their best idea is to abduct the first gay teenager they can find and threaten to castrate him if he is actually not gay (all to preserve the girls' purity).

* The main characters of ''Literature/{{Sukisho}}'' go to an all-boys boarding school.
* In ''Literature/SwordArtOnlineAlternativeGunGaleOnline'', Karen Kohiruimaki, the main character, attends a women's college. Unfortunately, since it's an elevator school and Karen didn't go to the associated high school, she has trouble making friends.

* Kanenone Gakuen in ''VisualNovel/GreenGreen'' before the girls arrive to make it a co-ed school.

* Kuoh Academy from ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' was originally an all-girls school, but two years before they started to go co-ed - one of the reasons TheHero [[LovableSexManiac Issei]] [[HaremSeeker Hyoudou]] chose to go there was because he thought he'd be able to pick up girls more easily there.

* ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'': Casterbrook's, the WizardingSchool attached to the Folly in Nightingale's day, was male only, because the second incarnation of the Folly was MagicalSociety as SmokyGentlemensClub. [[spoiler: At the end of ''Amongst Our Weapons'', Nightingale is talking about reopening the school, and it seems likely it will be co-ed this time.]]
* ''Literature/TheWitchOfKnightcharm'': While Knightcharm itself is co-ed, and while the Scholomance ''used'' to be co-ed too (back when Main/{{Dracula}} was a student there), the new version of the Scholomance that Emily infiltrates turns out to be for girls only. The Scholomance elites claim this was to reduce 'distractions' and that there's another dark magic school that's just for boys, but they make it clear that there's no way for the girls of the Scholomance to get to the other school (if it really exists).

* Mentioned in the series finale of ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll'' where Clarissa's best friend Sam gets admitted to an all girl university, because they thought "Sam" was short for "Samantha".

Gedo is a reformatory school for {{delinquent}} rejects of other schools, while Seijyun is a high-class private academy teaching [[YamatoNadeshiko traditional Japanese feminine values]].

* St. Pigeonations', the setting of ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', is a school for gifted birds which is revealed in the manga to be an all boys' school. The protagonist of the games is both [[TokenHuman human]] and female, but she's a special case. Apparently it's a little more complicated than that, though. On a Valentine's-like holiday when girls give beans to boys they like [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Yuuya's locker overflows with presents]]. It's stated repeatedly that male and female pigeons are all but indistinguishable, and a quite masculine character mentions having laid an egg.
* Lilly Satou of ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' mentions having studied in an all girl catholic school before coming to Yamaku. She also mentions having received several confessions before...
* Vincennes Academy in ''VisualNovel/PrincessEvangile'' is an exclusive all-girls school founded by French Catholic missionaries.

* ''Webcomic/TheSecretsOfTheAfterlife'' offers a cast mainly female. The school the characters attempt is an all-girls place, as long as the village.

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool'' took place at an all-girls boarding school for female ''monsters'' rather than female ''humans'' (Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy were working there as gym teachers)--the movie also featured an all-boys military school next door to the titular [[AllGhoulsSchool ghoul school]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' once infiltrated an all-girls school.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' originally had the Ponyville schoolhouse consist of all female fillies in the first season, until the second season onward had [[ThoseTwoGuys Snips and Snails]] as well as other male colts such as Featherweight, Truffles, and Pipsqueak attend.
* Lydia Deetz attends Miss Shannon's School for Girls on ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}''. Only one boy was seen at the school, the kid auditioning with Lydia for the school play of "Romeo And Juliet" in the episode "Stage Fright".

* In [[Recap/AmericanDadS15E19TopOfTheSteve "Top of the Steve"]] from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', Steve (with Roger in tow) runs away to a boarding school called Pendlingtonton Academy after getting fed up with Stan's attitude. But right after arriving at the school, PA's revealed to be an all-girls school (Roger even disguises himself as a girl for the rest of the episode). After meeting their roommates, known only as [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname "Spitz and the Babe,"]] Steve and Roger question how Steve was able to get into the school even though he's a boy--Spitz (who's studying pre-law) explains that Steve was accepted due to a technicality in the school's charter (it's never revealed what the technicality is). When Roger notices how a lot of stuff about his and Steve's situation at PA just seems really ''off'', Roger's GenreSavvy enough to figure out that he and Steve are in a PoorlyDisguisedPilot for a SpinOff with Steve as the lead character.

* ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' is set in Luna Nova, a [[WizardingSchool school for witches]] and only witches.

* While ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'' is set in a co-ed high school, it's revealed that [[TheOjou Sayaka Saeki]] went to "a school for rich girls" before transferring to her current school. In her case, she specifically chose to transfer from a girls' only school to a coed one [[spoiler:as a result of a breakup with her senpai and girlfriend]].
* While the main setting of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' is a co-ed ElevatorSchool, at least one character is known to attend an all-girls school, and Hayasaka masqueraded as a student from another one [[ItMakesSenseInContext when she was trying to seduce Shirogane]]. The ''Offical Doujinshi'' spin-off also featured an Alternate Universe where Shuchi'in Academy was an all-girls school, applying {{Gender Flip}}s to all of the male characters.

* ''Anime/ShoujoKagekiRevueStarlight'' takes place in Seisho Music Academy, an all female school. Since the show takes a lot of inspiration from the all-female Creator/TakarazukaRevue, with Seisho particularly being inspired by the Takarazuka Music School, it makes sense. The mobile game introduces other schools, and they're all girls-only as well.
* In the ''Franchise/LoveLive'' franchise, every school shown is an all-girls' school.
* In ''Literature/SwordArtOnlineAlternativeGunGaleOnline'', Karen Kohiruimaki, the main character, attends a women's college. Unfortunately, since it's an elevator school and Karen didn't go to the associated high school, she has trouble making friends.

* Sainotama Girls' High School in ''Manga/WastefulDaysOfHighSchoolGirls'', as its name implies, is girls-only. Nozomi hates this, as it's more difficult to get a boyfriend. Unusually for this trope, this school is also noted to be [[DustbinSchool academically unaccomplished]].
* Kuoh Academy from ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' was originally an all-girls school, but two years before they started to go co-ed - one of the reasons TheHero [[LovableSexManiac Issei]] [[HaremSeeker Hyoudou]] chose to go there was because he thought he'd be able to pick up girls more easily there. Unknown to most of the population, the reason behind this change is that Rias Gremory (whose family pretty much owns the Academy) started to attend classes there, and she wanted Kiba and Gasper to enroll there with the rest of her peerage.
* ''Literature/ShominSample'' takes place in a hidden all-female school where young ladies of good families are taught everything a high-class lady needs to know. Unfortunately, the extreme isolation from the modern world means that none of them know how to deal with it when their schooling ends, so the school owners decide to enroll a male commoner there to help ease them up the cultural shock. For some reason, their best idea is to abduct the first gay teenager they can find and threaten to castrate him if he is actually not gay (all to preserve the girls' purity).
* {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''Manga/XMenMisfits'' with Xavier's Academy, before Kitty arrives. But it's not specifically for boys; for no given reason, Kitty just so happens to be the first female mutant to attend in half a decade.
* In ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'', Sajuna Inui, aka Juju, attends the all-female Sakuranomiya High School, and as a result she's never held hands before with someone of the opposite sex before.

* ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'' mainly takes place at a co-ed high school, but Kashima's younger sister Rei goes to an all-girls' school (which has [[ElevatorSchool both elementary and middle school divisions]]) and has done so for her whole life. As a result, Rei has had little experience with boys and assumes that students at co-ed schools only ever think about romance, which leads her to view every boy-girl interaction as romantic.
* In ''Manga/ArmedGirlsMachiavellism'' Aiichi Symbiosis School ''used'' to be a school for rich girls. This led to the current situation of [[AxesAtSchool all the girls carrying batons or other weapons]] (aside for the recent transfer thth [[RazorSharpHand can slash with her bare hands]]), the [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentsCouncil Five Supreme Swords]] carrying actual ''swords'' and being composed entirely of [[MasterSwordsman skilled swordsfighters]], and the boys being all former delinquents who have been beaten into submission: when the school got co-ed the students and their families demanded and obtained the right to carry weapons for self-defense against the expected molestations, the Disciplinary Committee rebranded itself as the Five Supreme Swords and started operating as a sword-armed vigilante group against the more blatant cases (and eventually usurped the actual students council), and they were so effective in keeping the rowdiest boys at bay that the school started taking in male delinquents to "coeducate" them. [[spoiler:It's later implied the administration wanted to make the school a place to raise skilled swordsfighters and just used the students' demands as an excuse]].
** Aiichi's twin school, Hokkai Symbiosis School, also used to be a one-gender school, but for boys. It also went co-ed with ''all'' students being allowed to arm themselves, though under so far unspecified circumstances.
* ''Manga/{{Major}}'': Halfway through his second year of high school, Goro decides to transfer to Seishuu Academy. It was previously an all-female school (and coincidentally, his ChildhoodFriend[=/=]LoveInterest Kaoru had also chosen to go there after middle school), which makes it difficult for him to find members to start out a baseball club.
* ''Anime/KatanaMaidens'' (a.k.a. Toji no Miko) has 5 schools (Renpu Girls' School in Kanagawa, Minoseki Academy in Gifu, Heijou Institute in Nara, Ayanokouji Martial Arts School in Kyoto and Osafune Girls' Academy in Okayama) dedicated to training girls in swordplay so they can fight demons called Aradama. The 6 protagonists are students from 4 of these 5 schools and every Toji, past and present, has gone through education at one of them. The all female nature of these schools is justified by the fact that Toji are Sword-wielding Shrine Maidens, meaning that they train people for an all girl profession.
* ''Manga/CipherAcademy:''
** The titular Cipher Academy is mostly an all-girls school (the introduction hints that its creation was inspired by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Girls Code Girls]] group, formed by the U.S. government during World War II). However, every class has a "[[TheOneGuy token male]]", which is why the protagonist, Iroha, can attend the academy.
** An all-male school called the "Trench Academy", for training commandos, is also mentioned (and Iroha is threatened with being sent there if he loses the code battle against Yukako).

* Greytowers in ''ComicBook/TheDandy'' strip ''Winker Watson'' as well as their rival school, St. Cuthbert's, are both all-boys. Greytowers' [[{{Pun}} sister school]], Oak Ridge School for Girls, also appears on occasion.

* Many examples in British girls' {{Anthology Comic}}s. The best remembered is St Elmo's from ''The Four Marys'' in ''ComicBook/{{Bunty}}''.

And then there's [[WizardingSchool Unseen University]] and other wizard colleges, which only teach men (sometimes saying women simply can't be wizards, sometimes claiming problems with the plumbing, and possibly secretly afraid that if women were wizards they might turn out to be good at it). By inference in ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'', the Thieves' Guild School is co-educational and has probably been so for a long time.

* In ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', Rei Hino/Mars attends a Catholic girls' school, T.A. Academy, which is the focus of two episodes of the [[Anime/SailorMoon first anime]].

* ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'' subverted, if not deconstructed, many conventions of this trope as shown in anime. Most of the story is around junior-year students of Sanada North Perfectual High, which looks like any other public high schools in Japan and was established as late as ''1989''. Sanada East, a all-girls school, also came up in the story. Part of the conflict of this work are on the students' lack of knowledge of teens of the other gender, and the writer made it clear that the [[LostInTranslation Daily Lives of Boys' School Boys]] are ''boring''.

* ''Literature/BodaciousSpacePirates'' is set (partially) in an all-girls school. However, it averts many related tropes as the other major setting is the ''Bentenmaru'', a pirate ship with a mixed-gender crew.
* According to the ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' manga the school that the girls go to was once an all-girls school. Nyamo and Yukari went to while it was still one. This causes [[AmbiguouslyBi interesting implications]] about [[NoodleIncident Nyamo's "love letter"]] incident.
** In both, Kimura brings up a conversation that he had with a teacher at a girls' high school. He apparently laments not being employed at one, as well, because they apparently let the students who have P.E. early in the day wear their P.E. uniforms and swimsuits to homeroom. Instead, ''he's'' a teacher at a co-ed high school, which not only has a lower percentage of students for him to be interested in ogling, but because of the boys, the girls have to confine their wearing of those outfits to P.E..

Though they're a drop in the bucket as the school has over a 1000 female students.

* The ''Manga/CandyCandy'' series had a BoardingSchool arc with a set up similar to the ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' and CLAMP Campus ones. It takes place in a school for rich kids with one single campus, but also separate school buildings and dorms for each gender; it's also pretty strict regarding male-female interactions, as Archie tells his girlfriend Annie that ''talking while on their own'' could potentially bring them punishment. [[spoiler: When Terry and Candy are caught talking outside the dorms in the middle of the night after Eliza slips them an IdiotBall, ''both are near expulsed''.]]

* Tamura from ''Manga/BokuraNoHentai'' begins going to an all-boys school when he graduates middle school [[spoiler:and Ryousuke transfer there later]]. Marika's best friend Akane has asked her if she wants to go the school because she likes Tamura, however that would mean [[UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} Marika]] would need to detransition. [[spoiler:She ends up going to a co-ed high school as a girl]].
* In ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', while Mashiro, Takagi and Miyoshi go to a coed high school, Azuki, who is Mashiro's girlfriend and Miyoshi's best friend, goes to an all-girls high school in Hachioji.

* Lowood Academy in ''Literature/JaneEyre'' is an all-girl boarding school, and Aunt Reed chooses it for Jane based on how strict the curriculum is - and she did not choose amiss. Fortunately it's headed at least by a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.

** ''Manga/GirlFriends''

* ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'' is set (partially) in an all-girls school. However, it averts many related tropes as the other major setting is the ''Bentenmaru'', a pirate ship with a mixed-gender crew.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' and ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'' both feature the prestigious Tokiwadai Middle School, an all girl's school that only caters to very high levelled [[PsychicPowers Espers]].

* Kuoh Academy from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' was originally an all-girls school, but two years before they started to go co-ed - one of the reasons TheHero [[LovableSexManiac Issei]] [[HaremSeeker Hyoudou]] chose to go there was because he thought he'd be able to pick up girls more easily there. Unknown to most of the population, the reason behind this change is that Rias Gremory (whose family pretty much owns the Academy) started to attend classes there, and she wanted Kiba and Gasper to enroll there with the rest of her peerage.

Toji no Miko) has 5 schools (Renpu Girls' School in Kanagawa, Minoseki Academy in Gifu, Heijou Institute in Nara, Ayanokouji Martial Arts School in Kyoto and Osafune Girls' Academy in Okayama) dedicated to training girls in swordplay so they can fight demons called Aradama. The 6 protagonists are students from 4 of these 5 schools and every Toji, past and present, has gone through education at one of them.
