Admissions Overview

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Gateway School! Finding the best learning environment for your child can be challenging and exciting. I look forward to helping you with this important decision.

The information you find on our website will give you an overview of our school, but the best way to explore the Gateway community is to visit our beautiful bayside campus! You can call me anytime to schedule a personal tour, or you can come to our next Open House.

As a K-8 school, our main point of entry is kindergarten. Be sure to check out our kindergarten admissions page!

If you are interested in applying to grades 1-8, please call the admissions office to check space availability in that grade. If your child’s grade is waitlisted, we still encourage you to submit an application! When families relocate in the summer, we may have spaces open. When spaces are available, we also accept mid-year enrollments.

Please feel free to call or email me anytime if you have questions about our admissions process. Come visit and discover Gateway School for yourself… I look forward to meeting you!

Warm regards,

 

Colleen Sullivan

Director of Admissions
