Mission Statement
The GateWay Boarding Academy will be a statewide, college preparatory boarding school for adolescent males who have been identified by juvenile justice, foster care and other community agencies. Our mission is to provide these young men with a second chance to achieve an education that prepares them for success in college and beyond, and life skills necessary for successful and productive living. Along with individualized supportive instruction, we will offer our students a boarding school environment structured to provide cultural experiences, group counseling and recreation. Additionally, it will provide for parent involvement, as the students perfect the academic and life skills necessary for successful and productive living.
