Read the following from Girard's home page and you will understand that the apparent lack of diversity in the school population is completely out-flanked by the noble purpose for the school's existence.
"Girard College is a private boarding school for academically capable students, grades 1 through 12, from families with limited financial resources, headed by a single parent or guardian."
"All Girard students receive full scholarships to take part in the school’s strong academic program, and to live safely on its enclosed 43-acre campus in the Philadelphia Art Museum area of the city."
How fitting that Girard College resides in a city renowned for brotherly love! How good is that? History of Girard College
