Gateway to College

Gateway to College

Gateway to College is designed for young adults ages 16 to 21 who have dropped out of high school or are significantly behind in credits and unlikely to graduate on time.  This dual credit program allows students to complete their high school requirements while simultaneously progressing toward a college degree or certificate.

About Gateway to College

  • Reintroduces youth to education
  • Acclimates students to a college environment
  • Builds their basic skills
  • Improves their academic habits
  • Reinforces their motivation
  • Prepares them for college success

During their enrollment in the program, students receive wrap-around support, one-on-one advising, and mentoring to keep students on track for high school completion, while at the same time assisting them with transitioning to post-secondary education.  Once students have completed their high school diploma requirements the will graduate from the Gateway to College program. 

In today’s global economy, more than 80 percent of the fastest growing jobs will require education or training beyond high school.  We are looking for students who have the desire and determination to learn, work hard, and hear a high school diploma and a college degree.
