Zealous Schools to Open Girls’ Campus

8/5/21—Zealous Schools in Eagle, Colorado, is opening later this month a new campus for girls entering grades 6 through 8.

When considering expansion plans for a second campus, the executive team started with the reality that women around the world continue to experience discrimination. According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2020, women won’t see gender parity for over 99 years. Women comprise half of the global population but in the U.S., for example, make up only 27% of the Congressional House Representatives and just 7% of Fortune 500 CEOs. Zealous Schools is tackling this worldwide issue head-on with the opening of its second campus in Edwards, Colorado, which will break down barriers that are preventing girls from tackling these statistics and seizing their dreams.

The new girls’ campus will mirror the mission of its sister school in Eagle, the organization’s flagship. At Zealous, students are gently guided to become healthy citizens, critical thinkers, and zealous learners. At the new Edwards campus, equal consideration will be given to each student’s emotional growth, citizenship, and compassion, in addition to content knowledge.

“Our girls’ campus will be a place for female-identifying students with a drive for learning,” said Edwards Campus Director Kelsey Head. “Our goal as a school is to guide kids in finding their voice, building their confidence, and discovering their potential in a safe and supportive environment.”
