May 2026 - The Gateway School

Students with the most educational or behavioral challenges, who appear as if they would never adjust to school anywhere, “fit in” and flourish at Gateway School. The staff is attentive and caring about their students’ needs.

Gateway School is the extension of our family. The teachers, therapists and staff are the most caring, most loving group of professionals we have had the honor of knowing. Because of the Gateway family, my son now has a chance at a sense of normalcy that he may not have had. The professionals at Gateway are mission-oriented… and the mission is the children.

My Joshua has improved so much with his social skills since attending Gateway School. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that his academics are being met; and that he is making friends in a supportive, caring environment. I would encourage any parent to be assured if and when their child is in these capable hands.
