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.

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."
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.
