A school that only admits [[BlueBishonenGhetto male]] or [[PinkBishojoGhetto female]] students. Very much a TruthInTelevision: Many (but not all) schools run by religious organizations are single-sex. At least, once the students are old enough for messing around to occur -- most Roman Catholic high schools are single-sex. Likewise boarding schools tend to be single-sex and there are single-sex secular schools that are not boarding schools. Male-only also used to be the default for universities, and will still crop up in most period pieces. They don't really exist anymore, and women's colleges are a dying breed as well, so it's usually not TruthInTelevision past high school.

Likewise boarding schools tend to be single-sex and there single-sex. Many educators in such institutions defend the practice not just from the prudish attitude that one might expect, but some more practical concerns; female students, for example, can be shown to perform better without male students around as they're more likely to engage the subject material as they are single-sex secular less likely to be afraid of being perceived as too smart to attract sexual attention. There is, of course, a feeling in many quarters that hormonally driven teenagers will be unduly distracted by romantic concerns to really care at all about what the teacher in front of the class is talking about as well.

Single-sex colleges exist as well. Colleges for (usually) women only called Normal Schools go back to the 1600s, usually for the purpose of instructing graduates of the mainline (up through High School by current standards) in order to become teachers. These
schools that still exist, however they are not boarding schools. generally gender integrated now and more commonly called Teacher's Colleges, however the term "Normal School" (from the original École Normale founded by Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle in 1685).

** As well as "conventional" boarding schools, the Fools' Guild School is all male, and the Assassins' Guild School was until recently (although interestingly, unlike the Fools, the Guild itself wasn't). And then there's Unseen University.

* In the HarryPotter films, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons are all-male and all-female, respectively. Both are co-ed in the books.



* In the ''HarryPotter'' books and movies, Durmstrang is strongly implied to be all male. In the movies, Beauxbatons is apparently all female, which isn't the case in the books. Kinda makes you wonder where Eastern European witches and French wizards go to school.
** There's a very brief mention in the book of female Durmstrang students. Fanon generally seems to assume that Durmstrang was all-male only in the film.
