Faculty

All members of the staff at Gateway Academy strive to demonstrate fairness, honesty, humility, respect, warmth, and sensitivity in their relationships with each other and with their students. By making evident their love of knowledge and passion to teach youth, our teachers are role models of life-long learning. The teachers and administration of Gateway are dedicated professionals who respect one another and value each other’s expertise. The administrative leadership of the school believes strongly that its professional staff should participate in the educational process and welcomes their important contributions, which the faculty bring to the ongoing development of the educational program. Students are taught to trust the authority and guidance of the faculty, administration, and staff, and they are encouraged to initiate open and honest dialogue concerning academic and personal issues.

Likewise, Gateway Academy faculty constitute a community of learners, who pursue new opportunities for study, create times for reflection, and gather together for the sharing of ideas. The school regards faculty development as paramount to the continuous professional growth of the faculty: we create the programs for professional development in the school, and encourage individual faculty members to seek intellectual and professional growth opportunities through conferences, course work, seminars, and independent and group study.
