At the heart of GLOW Academy is a focus on “whole girl” education. We seek to foster the growth of leadership and confidence in our students and build and sustain family support, all while engaging all of our students in a rigorous college preparatory program.This means that GLOW emphasizes the following areas to ensure that each girl has a successful 6-12 experience and continues on to college: leadership development, early college and career awareness, health and wellness and expanded opportunities in science, technology, math and the arts.

At GLOW we recognize that teachers are the heart of the instructional program at our school. Therefore, the Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington is committed to the recruitment and retention of the highest caliber educators dedicated to our mission  and our students. We get excited about educators who are fired up about learning; who want to spend their time discussing, preparing and immersing themselves in the content they’re about to teach and how they will teach it; and who yearn to work collaboratively with their colleagues to build a truly integrated curriculum experience for students. We’re looking for educators who believe that family and community partnerships are crucial and reach out beyond their classrooms to build relationships that support student learning and success.  We value a hunger for feedback and the desire to engage in an ongoing process of reflection and growth for students and faculty. Above all, we are looking for educators who are passionate and committed to single gender education and our ultimate goal of closing the achievement gap for all our girls at GLOW.
