At DuBow Preschool and Martin J. Gottlieb Day School, students in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas can experience the difference of receiving a private school education from an independently run institution. By offering both a Jewish preschool and Jewish day school, Galinsky Academy provides Florida families with the opportunity to simultaneously enforce high academic standards and cultivate a deep respect for their religion with their children.

With over 75 years in operation, our local community respects our institution as an academic leader that prepares our students for educational opportunities and life beyond the walls of our school.

However, this is not the only thing that makes our school special. The following are just a few advantages that set our school apart:

We are able to offer parents the opportunity to provide their children with an education that aligns with their closely held Judaic beliefs.

Our school embodies and fosters a strong sense of community among all of our families.

We believe education should be engaging, which is why we offer students unique opportunities inside and outside the classroom that help develop critical thinkers and academic leaders.

Where Religious Tradition And Innovative Education Intersect

As a Jewish preschool and day school, students receive religious instruction on a daily basis. We offer a dual-language program, integrating important Judaic teachings and traditions while simultaneously enhancing to rigorous academic standards through our STEAM program.

Our STEAM program integrates science, technology, engineering, art and math on a daily basis. The purpose of this is to develop well-rounded students who are equipped to succeed and thrive in a variety of subject areas. This also allows us to differentiate instruction for each student, providing an opportunity to serve unique learners and those who need specific types of classroom opportunities.

From our youngest students in preschool all the way to our oldest day school students, we will join with your family in an effort to provide your child with the training, education and instruction he or she needs. Allow us to partner with your family during this important stage in the life of your child.
