Mission: The gateway school of new york is a lower school that transforms the lives of bright students with language-based learning disabilities and attention deficits. Students become skilled, strategic learners and confident self-advocates. Relying on direct, multisensory instruction and guided by an integrated curriculum, expert faculty teach students the language, literacy, and critical thinking skills that are the foundations for success in mainstream educational settings and beyond. Gateway believes a close relationship between the school and parents provides essential support as students grow and seek to realize their potential. In small classes and as members of a diverse and inclusive community, gateway students experience academic and social success, recognize their strengths, and are empowered to become independent learners.
Programs: See schedule othe gateway school of new york teaches children with language-based learning disabilities and/or attention deficit the skills and strategies necessary to become independent learners able to identify and advocate for their needs. Students are supported by a high level of structure, given clear explanations, and are taught according to their individual needs by virtue of diagnostic instruction. Through the execution of effective, research-validated direct instruction, students learn 'how to learn,' experience success, and develop the self-awareness and confidence that inspires them to assume ever-increasing responsibility for their learning. An independent school curriculum weaves together the skills and strategies necessary for learning with the academic content required for successful participation in general classrooms. Gateway students transition to mainstream school settings when it is clear they can do so successfully.
