The Galileo School is among the best independent schools in the United States, and we set goals with that standard in mind every year.

During this academic year, tuition will underwrite only 90 percent of Galileo’s operating budget.  

The Annual Fund goal for this year is $100,000  The funds raised provide Galileo with the resources to pursue excellence at the broadest level. Each student, teacher and coach is in some way touched by the generosity of our donors.

The 75 Challenge

Peer school parent participation in the Annual Fund is usually between 80 percent and 99 percent. In response, The Galileo School’s Parents Club has issued the 75 Challenge to all Galileo parents: The Parents Club challenged all parents to reach 75 percent parent participation. 

A gift of any size—$25, $50, $100 or $1,000—is an important contribution and is vital in meeting the current year Annual Fund goal. All gifts to the Annual Fund directly benefit teachers, coaches and students. The fund provides technology in the classroom, program budgets and professional growth opportunities for faculty.

For more information about the 75 Challenge or how to make a gift, please contact Scott Noel, Head of School, at 214.272.9610, or scott.noel@thegalileoschool.org . You may also write a check, payable to The Galileo School, and send it to
