Each Chapter of Girls Learn International will be paired with a "Partner Classroom" currently engaged in an effort to afford quality education to girls in a community that has historically denied girls equal access to education. Careful consideration will be given to selecting Partner Classrooms. Partner Classrooms may consist of both formal and informal educational programs offering basic and/or secondary education. Partner Classrooms may be co-educational or girls-only schools, provided that they are affirmatively engaged in the efforts to provide equal education opportunities to girls. To be eligible as a Partner Classroom, the program must address the following concerns:

• Program must offer a curriculum that is free of gender stereotypes. Special care must be given to utilize “gender-sensitive” textbooks and teachers must be trained to avoid discriminatory teaching methods.
• Program must be in close proximity to prospective girl students, to alleviate concerns about safety in travel to and from school.
• Program must be affordable; either offering free or substantially subsidized education.
• Program must take into account relevant cultural, social and religious concerns to the extent possible without jeopardizing the goal of providing quality education to girls.
• Program must encourage completion, and continuation on to next level of education.
• Program must be flexible, taking into account socio-economic circumstances of students. For example, hours of attendance may be adjusted to accommodate work and/or family obligations of students.
