Gateway Academy

We are a Private school for students with social and learning differences.

Students in our setting are generally able to self-regulate independently and learn in a small group setting with minimal support. Our student support team is available to provide periodic, short-term intervention on those occasions when they may be having a rough day. However, in general a student is a good match for Gateway when they are ready to take ownership of their learning and are motivated by opportunities to be successful in the classroom and their community. All students go by cohort to a Social Communication class taught by a speech language pathologist aimed at helping them build the social competencies necessary to be successful in relationships, classrooms and the community. Additionally, there is a weekly class taught by the school counselor addressing mental health related issues. The school has two behavioral specialists available to support students needing a short-term behavioral plan or intervention. The school’s primary focus is academics, but we recognize that many of our students may also struggle with related difficulties so the above supports are available.

In the core academic classes (math, language arts, science and history) the class size is 4-6 students in middle school, and 6-8 students in high school. Electives may be slightly larger.

Private school

Most public school districts across the country begin accepting student registration in early spring, usually in March or April. Some school districts may even start as early as January or February. The exact start date will vary depending on where you live and the type of school you decide to enroll your child in.

It depends on your child’s specific needs, the types of school options near you, and your family’s budget and values. As your child grows and matures, their educational needs may change over time which may require you to re-evaluate their school placement.
