Picture
 GATE Academy has an easy 3-step 
admissions process: 
• Take a tour or talk to our Sandy Jacklin our Admissions Administrator
• Submit an application & take a test 

• Have a visit day/tryout 

To request information or to schedule a tour, please call or email for up-to-date information.   GATE is now learning 100% in person.  We currently have a limited number of spaces available for the 2021/22 school year.  Please contact us if you are interested in learning about our application process.  We'd love to hear from you!

GATE has a rolling admissions process. Standard rolling admissions decisions for the next school year are made starting in mid January.  Qualified students are also admitted to  current school year mid-year on a rolling basis, when space is available.

Our 3-step admissions process is: 
​

1. Take a Tour:  Tours are given to one family at a time, and are for adults. Tours are by appointment only and typically start at 10:00 am. Click here or call to reserve a spot.  Due to COVID-19, all visitors are required to show proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test.
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 or talked to our admissions staff.  
  • You must submit an application to be eligible for testing with GATE Academy's independent tester. The combined application and testing fee is $385.  
  • 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 $85.

3.  Student Visit/Tryout
After you have submitted an application and once your child has been successfully tested, we'll contact you to schedule your child's visit days at GATE.  These visit days let your child get acquainted with us and vice versa.   Children with negative COVID-19 tests (antigen or PCR) have in person visits with their prospective class.
​4.  Acceptance Notifications and Contract Deadlines.  
We review applications and make admissions on a rolling admissions basis.  

2022-2023 Tuition: $22,950
Tuition includes six-week summer session and upper school laptops (for in-school use).
