Gateway College and Career Academy is an early college public high school dedicated to helping students think beyond earning a high school diploma.
Students spend a significant amount of time learning about their strengths, interests, and current industry sector options to develop a plan to accomplish their goals. The faculty and staff assist students to develop academically, while providing information and resources regarding college and career opportunities. You belong here!
But don’t just take our word for it. Here is what two families told us recently:
What sets Gateway apart from other schools?
What sets Gateway apart from other schools is how engaged the staff here are in making sure you do well in school and in your life afterwards the support system they give is unparalleled!!
What is one thing you would tell prospective students/partners/parents about Gateway College & Career Academy?
“I would tell parents and students that Gateway is an individualized, yet comprehensive college. You earn not only your high school diploma but credits towards your associate degree. You are able to take college classes from RCC — to get ahead on your college classes.
My son was able to take high school courses and be ahead with units toward his associate degree.
The transition was very supportive and his counselors were amazing! They were always there to help and walk him through the process.
The counselors and administration included us, the family, in their communication workshops and events throughout the semester.
It was a great fit for my son. Thank you to Gateway College & Career Academy!”
What made you choose Gateway for yourself / for your student?
“My son was not playing sports at his high school anymore and we wanted another option.
Gateway offered a flexible schedule that supported his academics. Our whole family was able to support my son in his accomplishments toward completing college units and earning his graduation.
His counselors always helped him and met with him. They’re the best! Their small caseloads and academic guidance classes helped my son learn a lot and transition well.
After graduating, my son was able to be involved in programs at RCC that helped his success.
I am grateful for this non traditional approach because it was a huge benefit for my son. Thank you!”
And every student belongs here. You belong here. Come get to know us! We’re enrolling.
Gateway College and Career Academy (formerly Gateway to College) is an early college public high school launched in 2004, as an answer to the growing number of students who were disconnected from their education and not on track to obtain their high school diplomas. Our highly qualified teaching and counseling staff supports and guides our students on their educational pathways, establishing a bond of trust and the motivation to make it to the finish line.
Riverside City College is an ideal partner, helping our students transition to college education via concurrent enrollment in GCCA and RCC, and giving access to all of the college’s resources and supports. You belong here!
