Testimonials

We chose The Gateway School because its staff includes a behavior specialist, and it is a very good school. I like it this way because the teacher and everyone on staff work with my son Larry. Want people to know that it is a very good school.

Selected The Gateway School because my son Darius has grown to be a better person, as well as a better student than when he went to public school. Gateway takes care of the students and does a great job. Excellent staff, I would recommend the school for anyone.

Our case manager chose The Gateway School; it was the only school available. Our son seemed to fit in right away. He liked the school from the beginning. Friendly staff really works with the students. My son had a lot of difficulty in the beginning, and now he has no issues. He really enjoys going to Gateway, and we are proud of the accomplishments he has made.

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

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.

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.

The Gateway School made it easy for us and John to switch from school to a work program…and Gateway was a big help in transition.

We appreciate the size of the classes, the wide range in sports (including the Special Olympics), the workshops for parents, and the very important and needed Transition program and services.
