Real Impact
Empowering Girls, Transforming Education
We move.
An active lifestyle is imperative for the health and well-being of all girls and women on every level. The lessons derived from physical activity are intellectual, social, relational, and purely physical. Movement lowers the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
We feel.
At GALS Inc., we believe in extraordinary lives. Research shows that students who participate in continuous and competitive movement are more likely to graduate high school, work in male-dominated industries, and earn higher salaries. At GALS Inc., all students are directly connected to their individual power, flexibility, focus, and balance via a connected community of peers and teachers.
We inspire.
We believe empowering girls is not simply about their individual confidence and success — it also makes a better nation and world. At GALS Inc., we utilize a gender-based learning pedagogy in our schools, where girls can access their full potential, take risks, and love themselves while doing so. We encourage girls to challenge themselves intellectually, physically, and creatively. The GALS environment empowers girls to embrace the pursuit of self-development and growth.
We celebrate.
The research is undeniable: the mind and the body are connected. GALS Inc. integrates academics and athletics in a healthy, competitive environment. Emphasis on movement all day, every day, seamlessly integrated into core academics, improves our students’ memory, attention, and cognition, allowing them to fulfill their potential as learners.
