- $75.00 non-refundable application fee paid at time of submission of online application
- Copy of the applicant’s birth certificate, social security card, immunization record and eye, ear and dental exam
- Signed Release of Records
2. Once an application has been received, the Admissions Director will set up an entrance exam for students applying to kindergarten through grade 12.
Entrance exams are set up at the convenience of the applicant and administered at Gatewood.
3. The Head of School will review the applicant’s file when all of the following has been received in the Admissions Office:
- Complete and up-to-date permanent record
- Graded entrance exam
- Copies of the applicant’s birth certificate, social security card, immunization record and eye, ear and dental exam
- Completed Teacher Recommendation Forms
4. If there is availability in the desired class, and the applicant is a qualified candidate for Gatewood Schools, based on the complete applicant file, the Admissions Office will extend a contract to the applicant. If there is no availability in the desired class, but the applicant is a qualified candidate for Gatewood Schools, based on the complete applicant file, the Admissions Office will notify the applicant of his placement in an applicant pool.
5. If a contract has been extended to the applicant, it must be signed and returned with a full enrollment fee of $750 or a partial enrollment fee of $400. The applicant will be enrolled once this final step is completed.
