Enrollment & Admissions

Enrollment Overview

At GALS Denver, our mission is to empower young women and students to succeed academically, lead confidently, live boldly, and thrive physically. We achieve this through an innovative educational model that focuses on physical and embodied movement (yes, even in the classroom), mental health and social-emotional development, and positive gender studies...all of which simultaneously works hand-in-hand with AND sets the stage for our powerful academics.

The GALS curriculum and culture provide for deeply personalized experiences and environments, allowing students to develop deep content knowledge and practice skills that will serve them in becoming their most authentic selves in the world.

The aim of our enrollment programming is no different. We want to provide prospective families with the most informed, authentic experience possible so that you and your student can make the best possible decision for their future.

Complete the DPS School Choice Application

Whether GALS is your top & only choice—or we're somewhere else in the mix—you'll need to complete a SchoolChoice application.

The DPS SchoolChoice Application opens for Round 1 at 10AM on January 15th, 2025 and closes on February 18th, 2025 at 4PM. Round 2 usually runs from mid-April through August. While timelines vary year to year, Round 1 results are usually processed and announced by DPS in April.

On the flip side, while Round 1 is a closed application period, Round 2 operates on a rolling, waitlist-style basis. Applications are accepted based on space available in the respective school for the upcoming school year, and students are sent offers as space opens up.

Accept Your Offer & Stay in Touch

Once you've landed at the school of your dreams (hopefully that's GALS,) you'll begin to receive communications from DPS and your new school. At GALS, we hold a spring welcome night for new families, followed by reminder emails throughout the summer for all the important dates coming up in the fall.

It's also important to note that as a smaller school, we intentionally design our back-to-school programming (registration, class selections, IEP conversations, etc.) to happen much closer to the start of the school year (and in some cases, during the first week of school), but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions over the summer!
