The historic Midway section of St. Paul provides the setting for Galtier Magnet Elementary's dynamic learning community with an emphasis on Science, Math, and Technology. Galtier's commitment to excellence has established our school as a hub of educational innovation and community involvement. Galtier's unique location at the midpoint between downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis provides our students with the wealth of resources that only an urban educational experience can offer.
At Galtier Magnet School, the academic program focuses on developing highly literate mathematicians and scientists. Students are skilled in using technology and cross-curricular strategies in a safe, enriching, and collaborative learning environment. Students learn critical thinking skills through hands-on learning activities.
Galtier staff have been empowered by the rich resources and in-depth professional development provided by the Reading First Grant and the Project for Academic Excellence. Research-based Balanced Literacy instruction is expertly delivered by highly trained staff in Readers and Writers Workshops.
Special Features:
- All primary students, K-3, have the opportunity to bring home a book daily from Galtier Magnet’s Red Hot Reading Program. This is a basic and very important part of this school’s reading program.
- The growing volunteer community at Galtier Magnet is organized by a full-time AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer from the Saint Paul mayor’s office as part of Project Read, Read, Read.
