Empower Underserved Girls
GALS Ohio serves grades 6–8 in a Columbus neighborhood where most local schools underperform, particularly among low-income students, girls of color, English learners, and students with disabilities. Your support helps close educational gaps and create equitable opportunities.

Proven, Whole‑Bodied Education Model
As part of the GALS network—established in Denver and Los Angeles—GALS Ohio integrates rigorous academics with daily physical movement, which has been shown to improve memory, attention, cognition, and overall student outcomes.

Leadership and Personal Growth
The school’s gender‑focused pedagogy nurtures leadership, resilience, self-awareness, and confidence. It helps girls feel empowered to challenge themselves intellectually, physically, and creatively.

Strong Community Impact
GALS Ohio is designed as a community school with partnerships at its core. Donations support family engagement, advisory councils, and local outreach that make the school a hub for civic connection and support.

Measurable Academic Outcomes
Evidence from other GALS campuses shows students outperforming peers by up to 50% on academic measures and maintaining attendance above 90%.

Accessibility and Inclusion
As a free public charter school, GALS Ohio ensures all girls in Franklin County—regardless of background—have access to a high-quality, empowering education.

Replication of a Successful Model
