Gateway Christian Academy
About the School
- Gateway Christian Academy was founded in 1995 on the basis of God's Word... Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
- Principal Deborah Price has been involved with Christian Education for 20 years and has used individualized curriculum and provided training in its implementation for grades K-12.
- Students are tested diagnostically (when needed) upon entering our school or home school using the program.
- Students are then placed in the curriculum in each subject at their own performance levels.
- The unique format of the curriculum allows students to advance from unit to unit as they demonstrate mastery.
- Students move independently through the curriculum under the supervision of instructors who provide tutoring at the optimum moment of learning.
- Christian Education is more than quality academics.
- The curriculum is built on a theistic philosophic foundation.
- Students learn to see life from God's point of view.
- Their personal relationship with God and their personal responsibilities to family, church, and community are of primary concern.
