Galileo School For Gifted Learning

My daughter has attended the Galileo Skyway campus for several years and next year will be her last year before she heads off to High School. We decided to move our daughter from another charter school to Galileo after receiving feedback and looking into the school. It was important to us that she not attend the local public middle school as our experience with that school and education was awful. Galileo has been an amazing experience and it''s worth the drive (roughly 25-20 minutes each way) to have her attend a school that is filled with teachers who are dedicated to their work and the kids. I have experienced the school as a parent, volunteer and a substitute. The teachers are professional and I can tell you from seeing it for myself what they endure as a result of COVIDs social impact on many kids entering a school setting for the first time. The principal is Mrs. Nunez, she is phenomenal. In fact, I had her as a soccer coach in HS and she is still as kind, humble and dedicated all these years later and now as a principal for many years. She is structured, patient, professional and cares about her staff, the kids and the families. She is by far the best communicator I have ever seen. She is very clear in her layout of communication to parents and leaves little room for confusion (which is not easy). Any situations we have experienced at the school have been so minor, even compared to the middle school that is the next street over from my house. My daughter ''wishes'' there would be some ''action'' to see a fight or have something intense happen they can gossip about. But I love that she only wants that because she has NOT had to experience it at her school. One day she will look back and be so happy she didn''t have to experience a lot of the crap that happens in traditional Middle schools. Galileo has a really cool pre-vet program. This is something you generally see in HS, but they have one right there on campus and the middle school kids fully take care of the farm. It''s pretty amazing. If you are looking for a school that will not make your child be cookie cutter, that embraces their talents and uniqueness, that encourages them to learn in their own way (as long as they are not disrupting others), that offers out of the box classes and programs for them at a younger age; I highly recommend Galileo School for Gifted Learning!

We have been having a very pleasant experience with Galileo Skyway Campus Sanford from day one. Outstanding and kind support staff and highly qualified, dedicated, and extremely responsive teachers. Galileo believes that all of their students have talents waiting to be discovered and the teachers and support staff help them find themselves. Parent and teacher involvement is excellent. My child loves going to this school and looks forward to attending all the fun educational activities and field trips. Highly recommend to everyone.

What an outstanding team at Galileo. We are so impressed with the way this school handled the hurdles of this school year. It is a friendly, attentive and student focused environment that is inclusive of every student. Every school should be like Galileo.
