A Message from the Principal

Gallistel Language Academy is a neighborhood school.  It offers Spanish and French language programs starting in kindergarten through 8th grade.  Gallistel also provides a rigorous academic program that is student-centered, data driven, and promotes a positive learning environment for the students, teachers, and community.  We offer a school-wide positive behavior intervention program (PBIS) known as “Purple Pride” with goals, incentives, and activities throughout the year.  Gallistel received a Creative School Certification in the Arts.  It also offers opportunities in before and after school programs including sports, choir, band and an engaging after school drama program.  We have partnerships with the Museum of Science and Industry, Rochelle Lee, Donors Choose and a school community board that is comprised of all parent driven organizations functioning within the school.
