Gateway Charter School
Welcome to Gateway Charter School, a Florida "A" school, located in Fort Myers, Florida. We are a tuition-free public charter school serving students in grades K through 8.
Mission Statement
Gateway Charter School and Gateway Intermediate Charter School continuously strive for educational excellence. Every student no matter of ethnicity, creed, or learning ability will receive the required skills and knowledge to be successful in the twenty-first century.
What is a Charter School?
Charter schools are part of a sweeping educational reform that places the highest priority on providing a better education. Charter schools are tuition free and are funded much like a public school, but each charter school is governed privately. Private governance places accountability squarely on the shoulders of the entity running the schools. Every dollar spent through the charter school system is focused on furthering each student’s education. Unlike traditional public schools, charter schools must demonstrate success, or they will lose their charter. Charter schools can be managed by municipalities, private companies or individuals.
Gateway Charter School is a member of the Charter Schools USA family of schools. Charter Schools USA is one of the largest providers of charter school management services in the state of Florida. CSUSA manages private and municipal charters for grades Pre-K through 12.
