If so, you are a great candidate to work at Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington, and we encourage you to apply for our current School Bus Driver position.

At the heart of GLOW Academy is a focus on “whole girl” education.

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 staff and 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 staff and educators dedicated to our mission and our students.

We’re looking for educators who believe that family and community partnerships are crucial and who 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 staff and 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.
