Gateway Christian School developes a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to grow in Christian maturity.
Our desire is to help meet the spiritual, academic, physical and social needs of all students and to lead each student to respect and submit to authority, thus enabling them to become the leaders of tomorrow and bring glory to God.
In order to accomplish this in an educational institution, we must recognize God as the ultimate source and final authority of all teaching.
We must provide a Christian education for the children of Roswell without regard to race or religious creed.
