Gateway Christian Schools has been blessed with growing enrollment. We value our ‘right size’ approach with small class sizes, student to teacher ratios, and scheduling flexibility. There is a predetermined classroom capacity for every grade level in our school.

With a large number of prospective students each year, the number of applicants can exceed the number of seats available in a designated grade level for the current or upcoming school year. Our goal is to maintain optimal class size in each grade level and the wait pool process helps to achieve this goal. Gateway Christian School’s wait pool is an unranked group of applicants who we prayerfully hope will be able to join our school family.

• A family has 3 business days from the admissions offer to confirm their desire to remain in the wait pool.
• Families will remain in the waitpool for the current school year until a seat becomes available and their student is offered enrollment. Should a student not be selected for the current year, they are encouraged to reapply next season.
• If a student from the wait pool is offered enrollment, the family has 48 hours to complete the enrollment process before the seat is offered to another family in the wait pool.

Please contact the Admissions team at [email protected] for any wait pool questions or needs.
