GATE ACADEMY

The Marin School for Gifted Education

Welcome to GATE

GATE Academy is an inquiry-based school for kids who love fun. GATE students are deep, reflective thinkers who have 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.
GATE students are 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: Our students inspire each other.  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. As Imagine author Jonah Lehrer quips, "when ideas are shared, the possibilities do not add up—they multiply." 

GATE Academy kids learn by doing, seeing, thinking, making and sharing.
