Our Approach to Education
At the Avondale GATE Magnet School, we recognize that our students have outstanding levels of aptitude and competence. As such, we have high expectations for our students and we teach our students to have high expectations for themselves, so we can encourage continuous student growth. The acceleration of our curriculum is fast-paced and focuses on deeper exploration of the subject matter in English, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Most importantly, we believe in embracing each student’s unique personalities and characteristics to enrich the classroom culture.

Learning Environment
Our learning environment grows and evolves based on each student and their unique characteristics. We create a safe, nurturing, and personalized learning environment by meeting students where they are at academically, socially, and emotionally so that we can best set them up for success for the remainder of their educational journey and beyond. GATE Magnet School students have a voice in their educational journey, because we believe that when a student is invested in their educational path, their chances of success increase! Ultimately, our mission is to work together as parents and educators to improve the lives of our advanced and accelerated children.
