SAVE 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.
