Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy – Chattanooga

Students at CGLA enjoy their STEM classes and programs.

Established with a mission to provide young women with a rigorous college preparatory education focused on match, science and technology the Chattanooga Girls Leadership is the first charter school to be approved by the Hamilton County Board of Education.  The Academy has been serving students since 2006 and entered a new phase as they moved from the James A. Henry Resource Center to their new location in Highland Park at the former site of Tennessee Temple Academy.

The CGLA continues to expand, serving students in grades 6 through 12, offering a strong college-preparation curriculum emphasizing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).  Students participate in LEGO Robotics, expand the boundaries of their classrooms with community walk-abouts and hone their language arts and creative sides with Poetry Out Loud programs and the Young Southern Writers Contest.
