In a year unlike any other for students across the world, Gateway College and Career Academy students have shown us their remarkable determination and resiliency when faced with adversity. Disruptions to a typical school year that might otherwise create barriers to learning didn’t stop our students from adapting. Online learning? No problem. Non-traditional schedule? We got this. Our students continually show us their grit and desire to make a path in the world for themselves.
Flexibility
The pandemic asked everyone to be flexible and adaptable. Gateway students answered back by saying we’re here and we won’t let this stop us. Our flexible, dual enrollment program gives students more control over the when and where of their learning. We offer hybrid and online options, as well as morning, afternoon, and evening classes. Whether you are looking for credits to get that diploma or are ready to jump into college courses, we are here to help you catch up and get ahead.
In-Person Support
Students at Gateway enjoy the attention and support that comes with a small school environment. We provide in-person counseling and learning resources to help you meet your goals and find your own gateway to success. Our dedicated staff, like Gateway Community Engagement/Outreach Coordinator Denise Mosqueda, provide personalized support you might not find at a larger school and ensure that every student has access to the multitude of resources available both on campus and within the greater community. We are here for you.
Our small class sizes, attentive counseling staff, and focus on mental health mean that you will be supported every step of the way. We know students have faced adversity this year. That’s why we have a system of safety nets to help catch you when you need a hand. Our community and resources are here to guide you toward your goal. The global pandemic isn’t our first time helping students find the courage to persevere beyond barriers. Helping students overcome obstacles is the reason we are here!
