Spanish Academy

The goal of our Spanish Academy to teach a second language to students beginning in Kindergarten to help them become fluent by the time they exit the program in 6th grade. Knowing Spanish IS NOT a requirement to enter the program. It is a rigous program in that the students are required to demonstrate proficiency in two languages. Our Kindergarten classes are ALL DAY classes. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (760) 241-1753.

Calling All Gifted and Talented Students!!

Are you interested to see if your child is a GATE (Gifted and Talented) student? Whereas most schools focus on a pullout program, Galileo has a program where GATE strategies are taught in all subject areas by qualified GATE teachers. If you would like a tour of the school and sign up for a date for your child to take the test, please contact the school office at (760) 241-1753. We are now testing 2nd - 5th graders for the 2011-2012 school year. Spaces are limited.

Independent Study - Home School Alternative

Do you like being in charge of your child's academics where you are the teacher at home? Our Independent Study may be just for you. Each week, you meet with highly qualified teachers who provide weekly lessons, materials and resources you need to help you to be successful in teaching your child. Galileo also has a 2-day Hybrid program where your child can attend school for two days to get extra support from the teachers in small group settings and partake in the various elective classes offered. If you would like further details, call the school office at (760) 241-1753.

School Accountability Report Card
Current School Accountability Report Card (English)
The governing boards of California school districts must annually prepare and issue the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) for each elementary and secondary school under their jurisdiction. SARC reports are required by law to provide parents, the local business community, and interested parties with important information about a school's progress in 16 key areas. These Conditions cover such topics as progress toward meeting goals in reading, writing, and arithmetic progress toward reducing dropout rates and the amount of funds spent on salaries and other services. The School Accountability Report Card was established by Proposition 98, an initiative passed by California voters in November of 1988.
