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:
Watch Now
Words to Action/ Understand/ Respond.
Empowering students to address anti-semitism.
This interactive facilitation provides resources and skills to identify and strategically respond to anti-semitism, including stereotypes and prejudice, hate speech, vandalism, harassment, and more.

Our incredible Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Lewis, was the mystery reader in one of our VPK classrooms today. The children enjoyed hearing “Picture a Tree” by Barbara Reid, which was a perfect story to go with the Trees Study, the current curriculum focus.
