welcome!
Hello Prospective Parents and Students!
Thank you for visiting the GALA website and your interest in school tours! We know finding the right school for your daughter can be stressful and your year will be filled with school tours, applications, and crossing your fingers. At our school tours, we hope to give you the information that will help you decide if GALA is the right fit for your family. At GALA, our mission is to build confident, powerful, trailblazing women who have the potential to solve the world's problems... or at least make the world a better place!
School tours begin mid-September. Dates and RSVP forms will be posted by end of August. Want to be the first to learn about our school tour dates? Sign the GALA inquiry form below!
covid update
Due to Covid-19, all of our tours were virtual during the 2020-2021 school year. Tours were held September-December 2020 and we do not have any additional tours for this school year. Our next tours will be mid-September 2021.
Whether GALA is in school or virtual, we are a public school and can not accommodate private tours and we do not do "shadow" days.

echoices info
-
If you plan to apply to GALA, you do NOT do that through echoices, you do it it directly on our website. Applications on our website October-January each year.
-
Our application does not affect the number of schools you can apply to through eChoices. For example, you can apply for magnet schools through eChoices AND apply to GALA separately. GALA is not a Magnet and not a Charter. We are a regular LAUSD school and one of 6 application schools in LAUSD.
-
Our application deadline is different than eChoices.... January 1 at midnight.

We HIGHLY recommend that you attend a virtual tour before you apply to be sure GALA is a good fit for your family. Virtual tours are September-December and you can watch videos HERE.

Please read the Frequently Asked Questions before the tour.

Look through our website, uniform page, student pages, etc.

Entry to GALA is by application only. Applications will be online beginning October 1st with a deadline of January 1. Applications are not first-come-first-served. We do recommend applying earlier rather than later - well before Winter break.

“GALA has given me a community I don’t think I would have found at any other school. The school has allowed me to grow without the fear of being judged and has helped grow my confidence exponentially. My favorite thing about going to an all-girls STEM school is seeing girls in positions of leadership.”
