Lunch and Learn: Swim Team

This past Wednesday, Gateway School hosted a Lunch and Learn inviting parents and districts to watch the movie, Swim Team.

Below is a description on the movie about these young men and their great achievements that occur during their time on the swim team.

In New Jersey, the parents of a boy on the autism spectrum take matters into their own hands. They form a competitive swim team, recruiting diverse teens on the spectrum and training them with high expectations and zero pity. Swim Team chronicles the extraordinary rise of the Jersey Hammerheads, capturing a moving quest for inclusion, independence and a life that feels winning. Swim Team has screened at over 50 international film festivals, won over 10 awards, was released theatrically in the US with its debut at New York’s IFC Center and aired on PBS’ acclaimed non-fiction showcase POV.

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. Case Manager, Newark Public Schools Jack Rifkin

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. T.Davis The Gateway School Parent

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. S.Lucas The Gateway School Parent
