It's more Than a School. GALS Denver Empowers Girls for Life.

Academic Excellence, Leadership, and Confidence—Why GALS Denver Stands Out.

As a parent, choosing the right school for your daughter is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. You want a place where she’ll be challenged academically, supported emotionally, and empowered to find her voice. For my family, that place was GALS Denver—Colorado’s only all-girls public school.

I attended a top 10 private all-girls school and received an incredible education, so my standards were high. But after watching my daughter thrive at GALS, I can confidently say her experience was even better than mine.

Why an All-Girls Education Matters.

I’ll be honest—when I was looking at schools, I didn’t just want a strong academic program. I wanted an environment that would help my daughter grow into the best version of herself. I wanted her to have the kind of education that wouldn’t just prepare her for tests but would prepare her for life.

The research backs this up—girls in all-girls schools thrive in ways that are hard to replicate in co-ed environments:

  • Stronger Academics – Girls’ school graduates are six times more likely to consider majoring in STEM fields.
  • Greater Confidence – 87% of students at all-girls schools feel their voices are heard, compared to just 58% at co-ed schools.
  • Leadership & Success – Women who attended all-girls schools are more likely to hold leadership positions in their careers.

I can tell you from experience—those statistics aren’t just numbers. They show up in how my daughter carries herself, how she speaks up, how she problem-solves, and how she takes on leadership roles without hesitation.

At GALS, the students not only learn the value of teamwork and how to find their voice, they also discover how to listen to and learn from their the peers.


What Makes GALS Denver Different?

There’s something special about GALS Denver that you won’t find just anywhere. Yes, the academics are rigorous, and yes, she was challenged. But GALS isn’t just about what happens in the classroom—it’s about shaping strong, confident, and compassionate young women.

At GALS, my daughter didn’t just memorize facts and formulas—she learned:

  • How to find her voice and advocate for herself
  • How to be a leader and a supportive friend
  • How to care for her mind, body, and soul
  • How to give back to her community
  • How to embrace who she is with confidence and pride

And she didn’t just learn these things in theory—she learned them through real-life experiences, hands-on projects, movement-based learning, and a school culture that encourages every girl to take up space and own her power.

It's About Shaping Fierce, Confident, and Unstoppable Young Women—For School, Career, and Life.

One of my favorite things about GALS is that they understand success isn’t just about test scores—it’s about confidence, resilience, and self-awareness. They blend academics with social-emotional learning and physical movement, creating an environment where girls don’t just succeed—they thrive.


GALS Denver gives students across the Denver Metro the opportunity to find their voice and thrive, regardless of background.

The GALS Impact

The results speak for themselves:

?? 100% of GALS Denver graduates are accepted into college or a post-secondary pathway. ?? Higher self-confidence and resilience reported among GALS students compared to national averages. ?? A curriculum designed for success – blending traditional learning with movement to enhance focus, well-being, and academic outcomes.

And for my daughter, the impact of these lessons is undeniable. GALS didn’t just prepare her for high school—it set her up for life. She walks into every room with confidence. She knows how to advocate for herself. She understands the importance of using her voice, lifting up others, and leading with both strength and empathy.

I’ve seen firsthand how GALS transforms young women, and I would choose this school again in a heartbeat.

If you’re looking for a school that will not only educate your daughter but also empower her, look no further. GALS Denver is the real deal.
