MEETING NEED WITH WANT
I told my son I was proud of him for participating in class. He got a huge smile on his face and ran over to hug me saying, "I told you I just needed a new school."
MISSION The Gateway School is a K-8, independent day school that transforms the lives of bright students with language-based learning disabilities and attention deficits. At Gateway, our students become skilled, strategic learners and confident selfadvocates. Relying on direct, multisensory instruction and guided by an integrated curriculum, expert faculty teach students the language, literacy, and critical thinking skills that are the foundations for success in mainstream educational settings and beyond. Gateway believes a close relationship between the school and parents provides essential support as students grow and seek to realize their potential. In small classes and as members of a diverse and inclusive community, Gateway students experience academic and social success, recognize their strengths, and are empowered to become independent learners.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, & BELONGING The Gateway School’s mission is to transform the lives of bright students with language-based learning disabilities and attention deficits. We believe it is necessary for our students to be fully prepared as responsible citizens for the world beyond Gateway. This includes social and emotional growth within a diverse, inclusive, and equitable setting. We welcome and actively support a community which includes but is not limited to diverse racial and ethnic identities, religions, sexual orientations, socioeconomic status, family composition, abilities, ages, and gender identities. We are committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in our community while recognizing this is an ever-evolving topic. Ultimately, we strive to build a safe, respectful, responsive culture, as well as a community that is grounded in connection and understanding, with an appreciation of and the opportunity to learn from our differences.
This evening as his brother was lamenting that the weekend was coming to an end and that he didn't want to go to school tomorrow because school stinks, my son responded, "School is great!!" Thank you, Gateway.
