Gateway been the best experience for my son. The Christian growth that I have seen in him is amazing. Coming from a public school, the class sizes and dedication of the teachers helps to foster an atmosphere for learning. Unexpected blessing continue to come! God is truly in control!

We played them in high school sports. They say they're a Christian school but those kids curse more than the kids in Public Schools! Not a fan.
