Girls Athletic Leadership School comes to Del Pueblo

Betsy Barrow, the School Manager & Enrollment Coordinator, writes to tell us:

What is Girls Athletic Leadership School (GALS)?

GALS Denver is a Denver Public Schools middle school serving girls in grades 6 - 8. Located in central Denver, GALS provides a college preparatory education in a supportive environment that fosters the academic mastery and personal development necessary for every young woman to become a powerful advocate for herself and leader of her community.

The school represents a standards-based response to the academic and social needs of girls in the Denver Public Schools (DPS) who face barriers to realizing their full potential. Classes incorporate an inquiry-based approach to learning and frequent movement that supports an active-based pedagogy.

When is this happening?

GALS will be moving to Del Pueblo in the summer of 2013 so that students can enroll for the fall of 2013.

The school is currently located at 200 S. University Blvd. You can setup a "shadow" date to visit the school and learn more about it at this current location.
