The city is the country’s capital and has a population of around 450,000.The school programme fulfils requirements for intensive language education, as well as those set out by the Ministry of Education. Classes are taught primarily in English, with Slovak offered as an additional course and mathematics taught in both languages. There are approximately 16 students per class, ensuring a close personal connection between learner and staff. The school is named for the 16th century astronomer and mathematician.
On the understanding that people tend to forget what they hear and remember what they see, education at Galileo is centred around visual stimuli. After receiving an exceptional educational experience at the school, may students go on to study in the UK at some of the most prestigious universities in the world, including Oxford and Cambridge. Since 2013 Galileo School
has worked in partnership with Microsoft to offer distance learning for students across Slovakia. Each year the school provides a summer camp, providing education in the form of interactive games with intense tuition of the English language. The camp also incorporated international themes and events, such as baking Italian pizza, making a Egyptian headdress and learning about the gods of Ancient Greece.
