2018-2019  Admissions Process

GATE Academy has an easy 3-step 
admissions process: 
• Take a tour
• Submit an application & take a test
• Have a visit day/tryout

Standard admissions decisions are made in early March. (See right column for our current Admissions Timeline.)  Qualified students may be admitted mid-year, if space is available. Please call us if you are interested in mid-year admissions.

To request information or to schedule a tour, please call or email for up-to-date information. 

Admission Steps

1. Take a Tour:  Since we are a specialty school, tours are given to one family at a time, and are for parents only. Tours are by appointment only and typically start at 10:00 am. Email or call to reserve a spot.  

2.  Submit an Application and Have your Child Tested
You may submit an application and schedule a test as soon as you have had a tour.  
  • You must submit an application to be eligible for testing at GATE Academy. The combined application and testing fee is $330.  
  • If your child has taken a standardized cognitive test (WISC, Stanford Binet, or Woodcock Johnson) within the past 18 months, you may submit a copy of those results with your application. The application-only fee is $80.  
  • DUE DATE for priority applications -  ended for 2018/19.
3.  Student Tryout
 After you have submitted an application and once your child has been successfully tested, we'll contact you to schedule your child's tryout days at GATE.  These tryout days let your child get acquainted with us and vice versa. 

4.  Acceptance Notifications and Contract Deadlines.  
We will notify applicant families of priority admissions decisions for 2018-19 on Mar. 30, 2018. ​Contracts will be due on April 6, 2018.
