Admission Process
Overview
The Galileo School admits students who have one of the disorders on the autism spectrum or other developmental delays. The process of admission is based on a review of diagnostic testing, and additional information pertaining to a child's academic history, as well as a personal interview. The Galileo School provides individualized programs serving children of any level of autism. By following strict admission criteria to identify students we are most appropriate to serve, our school is able to uphold its mission as set forth by the Board.
