Gateway

The CAPS Gateway program exists as an educational alternative committed to meeting the needs of children who have experienced minimal life success. Here, children will observe that change can be a positive experience and will be given opportunities to learn how to effect meaningful change in their own lives. CAPS Gateway program strives to return to the sending school district a child who is able to successfully cope with the demands of a traditional academic setting and the expectations of the community. In order to accomplish this, we make the following assumptions:

Students can achieve at various levels academically, socially and emotionally.
Through individual and small group instruction, we can provide for maximum academic growth.
Structure must be consistent, yet compassionate.
Students can learn and grow only when they feel safe and secure.
The school environment needs to be supportive and flexible.
Through improved self-awareness, students set and reach realistic goals.
By developing self-confidence and thoughtfulness for others, students can be successful in school, in relationships and in real life.
