Avance High School formerly Girls Leadership Academy of Arizona (GLAAZ), is a public charter high school in Phoenix, Arizona operated by Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC). The school transitioned from an all-girls model to a coeducational format as part of its rebranding to Avance High School. It offers flexible learning options including credit recovery, online instruction, and in-person coursework, with a focus on college and career readiness.

The school was originally established as an all-girls charter high school and later transitioned to a coeducational program under the Avance High School name. Its facility is shared with the Florence Crittenton of Arizona nonprofit.
