Academic and teaching excellence! Inclusive community!… I have a first grader who started at Gateway in K. We chose Gateway because of the focus on social-emotional learning and academics. Gateway has surpassed our expectations on every front! Close Quote

Gateway is the superior k-8 independent school in Santa Cruz. The school is rich in academics and deep, engaged learning based on neuroscience of how children learn. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
