About the Girls Athletic Leadership Schools (GALS Denver)

At GALS, students and teachers learn together, move together, and laugh together.

GALS Denver opened in 2010 as the first free, public, all girls school in the state of Colorado, first as a middle school, and in 2014 added the high school. Both schools are part of the Denver Public Schools (DPS) Family of Schools. GALS serves 350+ students in grades 6-12 with the mission to empower girls to succeed academically, lead confidently, live boldly and thrive physically. This is accomplished by delivering a college preparatory curriculum in a supportive environment fostering academic mastery and personal development necessary for every student to become a powerful advocate for themselves and a leader in their community. The school’s model includes daily movement (physical wellness) classes in which all students and staff participate, movement as part of the pedagogy, a team of therapeutic counselors to support all students and families navigate barriers to academic and life success, a daily core course, “GALS series,” focused on social emotional health and leadership development, and an intentional, wellness-focused culture paired with a rigorous academic curriculum. GALS Denver is the flagship school for GALS Inc., who is working to open its third school in Ohio in 2025.  To learn more about GALS Denver, visit our website at GALSdenver.org.
