2020-2021  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

To request information or to schedule a tour, please call or email for up-to-date information.   Due to COVID-19, GATE is outschooling, and is also continuing to answer phone and email questions regarding admissions.  Onsite tours have been suspended until September 2020.

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

During COVID -19, please call or email us for up to date information and video chats.  Onsite tours are unavailable until September 2020.

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, please call us to ask questions about program, since we are currently outschooling.  Let's videochat! Onsite tours are currently suspended and we plan to resume them in September 2020when we are back onsite.  

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 with GATE Academy's independent tester. The combined application and testing fee is $415.  
  • 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 $115.  
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.  Prospective student visits will be rescheduled to resume late June 2020.

​4.  Acceptance Notifications and Contract Deadlines.  
Due to COVID-19, we are reviewing acceptance applications on a rolling admissions basis.  Please click here to set up a tour or reschedule a videochat visit.
