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.
