SUCCESS
At GLOW, we are developing a campus and curriculum that prepares our students for today's colleges and careers. It's a 21st Century model with teaching methodologies and curriculum delivery that reflect the creative-thinking, group dynamic, problem-solving and multi-faceted nature of our society.
The result is a learning environment that doesn't just keep pace, but sets new benchmarks for our students and their achievements.

CONFIDENCE
There is abundant research showing the impact on learning in a single-gender environment. From the obvious: less focus on appearance, dating and sexuality, to the surprising: girls report higher confidence in their science, computer and math skills when boys aren't in the classroom.
The impact is measurable: disadvantaged students in single-sex schools, compared to their counterparts in coeducational schools, have higher achievement outcomes on standardized tests in mathematics, reading, science, and civics. They show higher levels of leadership behavior, do more homework, and take a stronger course load. And they have more favorable attitudes towards school, and less stereotyping about what women can and cannot accomplish.
Most importantly is the opportunity to integrate strong role models; creating an atmosphere that emphasizes girl-power, leadership and self-confidence.

FUNDING
GLOW is supported by a non-profit foundation which raises funds to support the enrichment programming essential to GLOW's student and school success.
College counselors, professional development for faculty, exploratory travel, coordination of internships for students and the periodic "Cool Women, Hot Jobs" speakers events are among the activities supported by the foundation.
Importantly, GLOW also provides transportation and in-school meals for students, assuring equal access to the students we seek to serve.
