With about 13 teachers, GIRLS ATHLETIC LEADERSHIP SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

The Girls Athletic Leadership School (GALS) High School in Denver is a specialized, tuition-free public charter school that utilizes a unique "movement-based" pedagogical approach. Founded on the principle that physical activity is essential to academic achievement and personal development, the school integrates athletics and mindfulness into the daily curriculum. By emphasizing goal-setting, bodily autonomy, and resilience, GALS seeks to create an empowering environment that helps students navigate the specific social and academic challenges faced by young women during their high school years.

Located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, the school focuses on a holistic educational model that balances rigorous college-preparatory academics with social-emotional learning. The campus culture prioritizes community, leadership, and self-advocacy, encouraging students to excel not only in the classroom but also as confident leaders in their future careers and personal lives. By fostering a supportive, all-female environment, GALS aims to dismantle systemic barriers to education and health, providing students with the tools to cultivate both a strong mind and a strong body.
