Gateway Academy Mission and Beliefs:
To provide all of our students an opportunity for academic, personal and emotional success. We provide the resources necessary to utilize comprehensive services.
The counseling program is approached from a developmental, remedial, and preventive perspective. The counseling environment is presented in a trusting, caring, and non-threatening manner that encourages and facilitates student movement toward meeting the students’ needs and challenges in a safe and supportive place. Topics are selected from a needs assessment instrument administered at the beginning of school year.
