Girls' school?

My husband and I are both aware of the benefits of single-sex education for girls, and there is one girls’ school that seems a potential good fit for our daughter. However, she refuses to consider it at all. Her reason is that boarding school is already a little “bubble” removed from the real world and that excluding one sex makes it even less like the real world. This is not a bad argument, and I wonder whether anyone has a good response to it; I don’t.

Should I keep encouraging her to consider the school? It’s pretty far from us, so a visit is not a casual decision.
