How To Apply

Once you complete our inquiry form, an admissions counselor will reach out with next steps, including how to access the Galileo Application Form.

We know choosing a school for your child is of the utmost importance. We take this responsibility very seriously and want to meet each and every one of our learners and families. The Parent Welcome meeting is your chance to ask us questions and let us know what is most important to you as a parent and what you want for your child.

Next, you’ll complete an application form that includes basic information to kick off the process and upload a recent photo of your child. Galileo requires a non-refundable $85 application fee to review and process all learner applications. We accept credit card and ACH payments.

You’ll need to upload a copy/photo of your child’s most recent official school report card. This will be used in complement with the school’s records and teacher recommendations.

Your child’s most recent school will have important insight into student records, academic records, and extracurricular activities. Please provide a current email address to your child’s school office so we can work with them to fill out our School Report Form.

You will fill this section out to request their transcripts be sent directly to us from their current or most recent school.

This is one of the most important steps in the application process. Because we value everyone’s creativity and individual expression, we’re asking that your child submit an introduction of their choice to let us know who they are. The introduction can be in any form — an essay, a poem, a video, an audio recording — anything that shows us more about your learner in their own words and creation. Consider having them answer questions like

• Who are you?
• What are your strengths?
• What do you like about school? What don’t you like about school?
• What do you hope to learn this year?
• What are your interests?
• What do you like to do before/after school?
• What are your goals for this year?
• What are you reading? Listening to?
• What sounds most interesting about learning at Galileo Preparatory Academy?

The interview is our chance to speak with your child and hear more about him/her, their speaking and interaction skills, and what they look forward to in school. It will take 20-30 minutes, and you can schedule this at any time during the application process.

After all these steps are completed, the admissions team will carefully review all the submitted materials to make the best decision and pathway possible for your learner. Expect to hear back from the admissions team within one week.
