What is Education Galaxy?
The Education Galaxy program is made up of various educational games and online exercises aimed to keep kids engaged to help them learn their weak subjects. Before students can start the program, an online assessment should be taken in order to determine areas that need to be improved. Education Galaxy programs contain web-based learning program solutions customized according to the child's state standards and guidelines so they will be better prepared for testing.

They provide instructional videos for concepts and subjects that students have difficulty in. The program imposes reward strategies like earning rockets in games to help keep students engaged, learn and have fun in the process.
