Philosophy
Gatewood's Upper School expands and further refines the programs begun in the earlier years. Working closely together, administration and faculty provide the strong curricular continuity that is the hallmark of an outstanding college preparatory school. Gatewood offers Honors classes at all levels. Formal preparation for the SAT begins in seventh grade and continues each year. Exceptional students are allowed to take courses above grade level. Electives enrich the traditional college preparatory curriculum as well as a variety of independent study programs. Clubs and teams give young people opportunities to develop leadership, a spirit of cooperation, and service to others.

An upper school student spends his school day in an intellectually demanding, but supportive, environment that allows enough freedom so that he can develop the responsibility that must always accompany privileges. In choosing Gatewood for the upper school years, a parent can know that his child will be prepared to compete successfully in the best colleges and universities and that he will have the opportunity to become the well-rounded student whom colleges actively seek.
