Our vision

We help push the boundaries of education, guided by two core beliefs:

1. Interdisciplinarity

By fostering the hybridization of disciplines, pedagogies, schools, and geographies, we respond to labor-market challenges and the evolving needs of our students.

2. Professionalization

When they graduate, our students must be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to enter the workforce or launch their own ventures.

Our approach

An integrated higher education platform

At Galileo Global Education, we leverage our collective strength to meet the expectations of our students by:

designing international and innovative learning pathways

hybridizing disciplines, geographies, and pedagogical approaches

committing to shared standards of quality

An intrapreneurial culture

We see our school directors as true educational entrepreneurs. They are empowered to design distinctive development plans for their institutions, within a structured framework and supported by targeted investments focused on student success.

This autonomy enables them to adapt educational strategies to the specific needs of their local labor markets.

Galiléo, a name that engages

Inspired by the geographical origins of the Group’s first school, Istituto Marangoni, and by our humanist vision, the Group takes its name from Galileo Galilei—an Italian astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who devoted his life to scientific progress and the dissemination of knowledge.

Like Galileo, who constantly tested his theories through experience, we develop an active, reality-based pedagogy focused on action. We do not educate passive graduates, but creative and responsible professionals, ready to actively contribute to the transformations shaping our world.
