Yes. We work closely with East Allen County Schools Special Services to provide students in need of the development, management, and implementation of individualized education plans (IEPs).

Our program best serves students who accept they have some issues to work through, and are willing to participate in the program. It is common for students who attend our school to have exhibited difficulty in a public school setting. Such difficulties may include poor work ethic, negative attitude towards school, difficulty accepting personal responsibility, and respecting authority. We, however, do not accept students who conduct themselves in any manner which compromises the safety and overall treatment of other students at GWS.

GWS is dual accredited through the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and COGNIA. Both accrediting bodies recognize GWS, thus allowing the transfer of credits to whatever school is next for your student.

The majority of students who attend GWS are behind in credits. Therefore, the classes that we tend to offer are required classes for the CORE 40 diploma. Examples are English, Biology, US History, and Algebra. We sometimes offer elective classes such as Child Development, Nutrition and Wellness, and Psychology. We also can offer more classes online through Edgenuity as needed to meet the needs of each student.

Students often enter and leave the Gateway Woods Residential Program throughout the school. Typically, GWS will have 20-25 students at one time but serves around 50 students throughout a single school year.

GWS has four fully-licensed teachers - one for each main subject area. Along with the four teachers, we have a Director of Education and a Dean of Students.
