Applications Process (A two-step process):

1st Step:

2nd Step:

  • For each student, complete Red Deer Public Schools’ online registration. Click HERE for online registration. 

Depending on room and/or resources, an information meeting will be arranged.

If room and/or resources are not available, your son/daughter will be placed on a “waitlist” according to our policy.  Families in this case, must have a plan “B”.

Upon approval of your application, you will receive a welcome package.

Alternative fees are charged as outlined in the School Act:

  • The purpose of these fees is to defray non-instructional costs incurred by advancing a Christian worldview such as: Teaching for Transformation, formational learning experiences, and school culture. 
  • Gateway Christian School (GCS) fee structure: 2022/2023 school year alternative fees are set as follows:
     High School (Gr. 9 – 12) $200.00 per student per year:   Gr. 1 – 8:  $300 per student per year and Kindergarten: $200.00 per student per year. 

 Gr. 9-12 Students:

While our elementary and middle school courses are all taught onsite at Gateway Christian, we also have off-site programs for our high school students. Instructed through our unique partnership with Lindsay Thurber High School, these programs provide advanced courses of study, wide-ranging skill development, and real-world opportunities.

Our High School students spend half of each day in their core courses at Gateway and the other half of the day completing courses at LTCHS.
