Gateway is a Christian school with three programs from which parents and legal guardians can choose.
We have a traditional campus school meeting daily at our Macon Road location in Memphis.
We have an extension program in which students come to one of our centers, pick up self-instructional curriculum materials, study these under parental supervision, and then come for tutor help or to take weekly tests.
Finally, we have a total home education program for parents who accept full responsibility for the education of their children.
