Welcome to GATE

Fully accredited K-8, inquiry-based school for kids who love fun.

GATE students are deep, reflective thinkers with a passion for figuring out, doing, and understanding. Our kids delight in exercising logic, spotting contradictions a mile away, and taking fantastic leaps of imagination.

Inquiry-based education makes kids responsible for digging in — from formatting questions and conducting research to analyzing data and content to being completely dialed into discussions and presentations. GATE students are engaged in their own learning. We love hands on/minds on learning!

Like minds, together

Creators of knowledge, not just consumers of facts.

Meeting other kids with like minds is the best part about our school. The GATE recipe is simple: when we put intensely curious kids together, point them at a goal, and add guidance and options, an explosion of creativity and productivity results. Our students inspire each other.

"When ideas are shared, the possibilities do not add up — they multiply."
Jonah Lehrer · Author of Imagine
