Girls Global Academy

What’s the T.E.A. at GGA?! T.E.A. (Topic Evidence Analysis) is a skill students have been using throughout the school year in preparation for DC CAPE. On Wednesdays during office hours, students were given 9 open response questions as a 10-week intervention. Students who answered 6 out of the 9 questions were invited to our T.E.A. party today 👒☕️. Student came dressed to impress and enjoyed some tea + pastries. DC CAPE is 2 days away, let’s go trailblazers 😎

Strong math education is critical for a productive life in the 21st century.

GGA ATHLETICS: Congratulations to our Varsity Softball Team for winning their first game of the season 17-14!

This month we are celebrating Women's History Month! Today we'd like to highlight the Founders of Girls Global Academy, Shayne Swift and Karen Venable-Croft. Opening up DC's FIRST all girls public charter high school is no small feat. This took advocacy, canvassing and continuing to create direct relationships with the DC community. Both our founders have over 20 years of experience supporting students transition from middle school to high school. Help us in celebrating our Founders for paving the way for GGA! Take a look at our story to learn more about our Founders vision for GGA.

Congratulations to our Open Mindedness recipients for January's IB Monthly Trait Awards! Every month at GGA, teachers nominate students who they feel exemplify the IB monthly trait - January's was Open Mindedness. Students who were nominated for this IB trait "appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others." These students also also receptive, nonjudgmental and unprejudiced. Help us in congratulating our open minded trailblazers!

Congratulations to our 88 Honor Roll recipients! Students were honored with a breakfast spread and received awards. Thank you to our GGA staff who helped during this event and to our families who joined us in the building!

Join us this BHM in celebrating the pioneers who shaped DC culture through gogo, social justice work and more! Stay tuned via our IG stories on our feature of DC pioneers. Happy Black History Month!

Thank you so much to the GGA Transition Team! 9th and 10th grade students worked on resumes, reviewed promotion requirements, and asked questions of our 12th grade students to glean some much needed wisdom. The next PD day for 9th & 10th grade is 2/14!
