    At Warner Girls’ Leadership Academy (WGLA), we are proud to be a public PK–8 school committed to empowering confident, capable, and compassionate young women. As one of only four single-gender schools in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, we offer a nurturing and supportive environment designed specifically to meet the unique needs of girls.

    Located at 8315 Jeffries Avenue in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, WGLA welcomes students from across the city and surrounding suburbs. We invite you to join our vibrant community, where leadership, academic excellence, and personal growth are at the core of everything we do.

    Our Mission

    At Warner Girls’ Leadership Academy, our mission is to cultivate a motivated generation of young women who embody confidence, competence, and compassion. We empower our students to lead with purpose and create meaningful, positive change within their school, their communities, and the world beyond.

    Our Approach to Empowering Young Women

    • Leadership Development
      We nurture leadership in every student through the principles of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, helping girls build confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of purpose.

    • Community Partnerships
      Through meaningful collaborations with organizations like Say Yes Cleveland, the Slavic Village P-16 Council, and other community partners, we provide wraparound support that enriches our students’ academic and personal growth.

    • Rigorous Academics
      Our passionate educators deliver a challenging, standards-based curriculum that prepares students for success in high school, college, and beyond.

    • Whole-Child Education
      We offer a well-rounded experience that includes athletics, the arts, and social-emotional learning—ensuring our students grow intellectually, creatively, and emotionally.

    Our Community

    WGLA is a vibrant school with approximately 350 students in grades PK-8. We offer a supportive learning environment where girls thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
