I have two children currently enrolled and I LOVE Galileo. My daughter tested in for her 4th grade year and my son went through their Independent Study Program for 2nd grade then tested in for 3rd grade. The teachers and staff CARE about the kids there and it is like a big family. My children are learning above and beyond what is required by the state and the field trips they attend are exceptional. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their children in a safe environment and wants them to excel in education!
