Galileo Magnet High School, serving grades 9-12, offers students a unique educational journey through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), complemented by Advanced Placement courses and traditional offerings. This combination provides a rich, diverse curriculum that caters to a wide range of student interests and aspirations. As students progress to the DP (ages 16-19), they engage in a rigorous two-year curriculum that includes studying multiple languages and exploring the nature of knowledge itself. Throughout both programmes, students develop key attributes such as inquiry, reflection, and intercultural understanding. At Galileo, the IB continuum creates a transformative educational experience. Students evolve to well-rounded, globally aware individuals. They graduate not just with a respected qualification, but with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to thrive in an interconnected world. The IB programmes at Galileo prepare students to be active, compassionate, and lifelong learners, ready to make meaningful contributions to their local and global communities.
