Gateway students currently have opportunities to take various courses through the Community College of Aurora (CCA), Pickens Technical College, Metro State University, and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and earn both high school and college credit.

The Freshman Academy is devoted to supporting students as they transition to high school. Teachers of the four core subjects–English, Math, Social Studies, and Science–work exclusively with ninth grade students, as does the leadership team, counselor, and progress monitor. This team of educators spends all day focused on the experience and performance of this age group. This allows us to identify challenges early and provide flexible assistance that will put students on a path to high school success.

“The administration — the assistant principals and deans — are really talking to the students more. They will see you and say hi. I’m an athlete and they know that so they will ask me about games and practices, which feels good because they I love sports and they know that about me. They are still allowing for students to have their freedom but are making us more responsible, which is cool.”
