An Important Beginning...
The Galloway School is a private school that is designed to meet the challenges of educating children in today's complex, high-tech world. With a philosophy that focuses on the premise that an exceptional educational foundation is the key to a child's success in both school and life, integrated with character building, our school has become one of the top private schools in the Bay Area. We are committed to providing a challenging but well rounded program for all of our students and their families.
Prospective students are required to submit an Application for Admission and undergo admission testing. All testing is performed by qualified administration. Once the prospective student's testing has been evaluated, the student is then notified of the results. After being accepted in the school, appropriate monies are required to secure the student's spot. If you would like to apply for admission, you can download our 2010 - 2011 Application & Admission Packet beginning March 1, fill it out, and either fax or personally bring it in to the School Registrar. Note: the packet now contains the Tuition Schedule and information about other fees.
Students are required to adhere to the school's uniform dress policy. Uniforms are available through Parker Uniforms.

Educational Excellence
The Galloway School is designed to meet the challenges of educating children in today's complex, high-tech world. With a philosophy that focuses on the premise that an exceptional educational foundation is the key to a child's success in both school and life, integrated with character building, our school has become one of the top private schools in the Bay Area. We are committed to providing a challenging but well rounded program for all of our students and their families.
The Galloway School Mission Statement
The Galloway School is a unique private school, designed to enable students to become creative thinkers, problem solvers and preserving Christian values and morals not available through the public education system. The Galloway School is committed to providing a challenging educational program of the highest quality in a Christian environment- an environment which will nourish each child's self esteem and guide the development of moral values and skills needed to excel as students and citizens.
Guiding Philosophy
The standards for educational expectations have begun to deteriorate, as have moral values. Many parents are seeking a traditional, structured school atmosphere among teachers and students- an atmosphere that is a way of life, and where learning is challenging. The Galloway School is a non-profit, non-denominational private school organized in response to that need and most importantly, our school is accredited by the Texas Association for the Accreditation of Private Schools (TAAPS).
