Lean In Girls: Girls’ School Cohort

ICGS and Lean In Girls have partnered to help students embrace their leadership potential and lead boldly—on their own terms.

From an early age, girls begin to internalize limiting stereotypes about what they can achieve. Lean In Girls is a free, evidence-based leadership curriculum that helps girls ages 11–15 build confidence, find their voice, and reject limiting messages about what they can and can’t do.

The curriculum includes 15 flexible, one-hour sessions that explore key topics such as:

• Taking positive risks
• Reframing failure
• Understanding and addressing bias
• Practicing allyship

Designed to fit seamlessly into advisory, SEL, enrichment, or afterschool programs, these classroom-ready sessions combine strength-building with real conversations about the barriers girls face—helping them develop confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of agency.

As one girls’ school student shared, “Lean In Girls utterly transformed me! I went from whispering in corners to thundering on classroom stages!”

Bring Lean In Girls to your school and join a growing community of 125+ girls’ schools across 10+ countries empowering girls to:

• See themselves as leaders
• Identify their values and strengths — and how these shape their leadership style
• Build skills to recognize and respond to bias
• Reframe failure and view setbacks as opportunities for growth
• Practice allyship through real strategies they can use in school and beyond

“Lean In Girls gives our students the opportunity to challenge themselves and think about their leadership in more complex ways. We offer this program, we think it’s amazing—and we believe every school should offer it to their girls too.” – Camille Seals, Head of School, Columbus School for Girls
