Gateway graduation requirements exceed the states and include four years of math and science. I wanted to be strong in that area. Beginning with their freshmen year, Gateway students are grouped into Houses that both provide a nurturing environment and allow for career exploration opportunities in four broad areas. Teachers and counselors work closely with students to help them select an area of specialization by the end of their sophomore year. It is our feeling that by the time you graduate from high school, you should not only have a pretty good idea of what general area you want to go into, but you should also have some experience in that area.

As students progress through their junior and senior years, Gateway begins bridging the gap between academics and career opportunities. Students are grouped by career majors and often work as interns at local businesses or on research projects at Universities. Establishing shot of St. Louis University.
