Gateway Academy has been wonderful for my son. The therapists, teachers, staff and support he has have been top of the line. The activities and field trips have been such a great experience for my son. The school has been life changing and has prepared my son to have what he needs to be successful in his life. They have been very strict with covid protocols and it has not been a worry. I highly recommend Gateway Academy.
