Full Description: As a church school we recognize the exclusive authority and jurisdiction of parents over their own children. Each family is responsible for its own “school.” As parent-teachers, you have as much freedom and flexibility as possible to administer your own “school,” choose and obtain your own curriculum, and evaluate your own progress. Home education should be a pleasant experience, free of much “red tape.” We hope to continue to provide service without hassle. Yet, when we ask for cooperation and information, we appreciate a prompt reply. Gateway retains the right to drop a student at any time, if circumstances warrant.
