Description
GLOW Academy is a college prep and leadership school with a curriculum in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). Our school is focused towards grades 6 through 12 and is expected to be up and running August 2016. We are devoted to advancing leadership and healthy life skills of young women while providing an environment for college bound success. One means of addressing Girls Leadership Academy Of Wilmington’s mission is to provide young women with an array of exciting and engaging events, internships, and academic camps.
