From Principal Margaret Chiu
Galileo Academy of Science and Technology provides excellent academic programs and a clean, safe environment for all students to achieve their maximum potential academically, personally, and socially. I believe that education is a partnership between school staff, parents and students. Therefore, I encourage all members of our school community to participate in making decisions that will improve teaching and learning at our school.

Motto The school motto is "Eppure si muove," Latin for "And yet it moves." As the story goes, Galileo was told to deny his scientific findings that the earth moved, or be punished - so he did as he was ordered! But on his way out he mumbled to himself, "And yet it moves."
