International studies and Catholic tradition consistently affirm the advantages of gender specific education. For this reason, Gateway Academy educates boys and girls separately from fourth grade through high school. Students are challenged in a nurturing environment that best serves the specific learning styles of each gender, providing preparation for the finest colleges and universities. Our approach is modeled on over 150 institutions in thirteen countries, directed by the Legionaries of Christ. Gateway was the first school in the St. Louis area to have single gender education on a co-ed campus.
