Gateway gives students the opportunity to explore high-demand fields and earn college credit before graduating high school – all at no cost to you. When you sign up for a High School Academy, the student's high school and school district agree to pay the cost of materials, accident insurance, textbooks as well as tuition and fees for the entire academy. For families, this comes to an average savings of $2,430.53! Learn more about the anticipated cost of High School Academies.

In addition, High School Academies ease the transition to college, teaching students how to navigate a college environment and giving them a jumpstart on a career pathway.
