Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy

The Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy (CGLA) is a specialized public charter school located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, dedicated exclusively to the education and empowerment of young women in grades 6 through 12. Founded on the principle that girls thrive in an environment tailored to their specific developmental and academic needs, the school focuses on creating a "college-bound" culture. CGLA integrates a rigorous academic curriculum with a strong emphasis on leadership development, character building, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the challenges of higher education and their future careers.

Beyond academics, the school is deeply committed to the holistic growth of its students, providing a supportive community that emphasizes self-confidence, civic responsibility, and grit. By maintaining small class sizes and fostering close relationships between faculty and students, CGLA aims to close the opportunity gap for girls in the local area. The school actively encourages its students to become bold, innovative thinkers and community leaders, positioning itself as a transformative institution that prepares young women to succeed in a global society.
