- G.E.D. (High School Equivalency Exam) study program

Year-round Academics:
Gateway provides ongoing year-round academics as a Department of Education registered non-public school. Certified teachers assist students in two available self-paced Christian curriculums (Accelerated Christian Education and Alpha Omega), offering tutorial help when needed. A high school diploma is awarded upon graduation, as well as assistance in obtaining ACT and SAT testing in the local schools.
As many of our students come to us having fallen behind in their academics, Cadets at Gateway Military Academy attend classes in our on-campus school, Monday through Friday, year-round with the exception of observed holidays and special occasions.
Students use a computer-based curriculum that self-scores to facilitate moving at a faster pace through the curriculum. Once a student has individually mastered one concept he may move ahead to the next concept without having to wait on a classroom of students, so many students are able to either catch up or get far ahead in their studies. For example, a student completing English I on Friday may start English II on Monday.
At Gateway, we emphasize individual learning. In the classroom, we utilize the award winning Switched-On Schoolhouse (SOS) Christian education curriculum on individual computers for each student.
SOS is a computer-based learning system which is also supported and tutored in our classroom by our own certified teachers. SOS offers a vibrant mix of entertaining lessons, assignments quizzes, and fun-filled lessons designed to captivate the student’s attention and engage them in learning.
It offers five core subjects and a variety of electives that complement learning tools such as 3-D animation, video clips, and other exciting multimedia which enhances the teacher’s ability to customize lessons to meet each student’s individual learning needs. With features that enhance content and functionality, this award-winning curriculum offers ease, accuracy, and quality academics.
Three of the more difficult courses are taught in a traditional teacher-led daily class. They are Algebra I, Spanish I and Anatomy & Physiology.
