The Galileo Health Academy integrates career exploration and training in the health field with science and English classes at Galileo in order to increase academic motivation and graduation rates of 120 students. The SFUSD has cited our academy as the leading health academy program in San Francisco, and is working with us to bring elements of the academy to several other schools.
