Gateway Christian School

Gateway Christian School Gateway Christian is a K-12 Alternative School in Red Deer Public School District that serves children’s academic and spiritual education.

Academic excellence combined with faith-infused teaching equips students to pursue lives of meaning and purpose. Gateway Christian helps students transition from agile learners into highly educated resilient individuals who have a clear understanding of how they fit into God’s story. Our students are fueled by that understanding so they can pursue lives of meaning and purpose. A Gateway Christian education will help students to:
- Discover the beauty and intricacies of God’s creations
- Develop skills and an awareness of the vital, unique role they play in the unfolding of God’s story
- Translate their learning into real service for real people with real needs. While our elementary and middle school courses are all taught onsite at Gateway Christian, we also have off-site programs for our high school students. Instructed through our unique partnership with Lindsay Thurber High School, these programs provide advanced courses of study, wide-ranging skill development, and real-world opportunities. As image bearers of Christ, our students develop respect and love for all God’s creations. At Gateway, students with varying Christian backgrounds come together and form a large, diverse student body. This diversity helps forge an acceptance of uniqueness and a sense of social justice that is rooted in God’s love for all his creations.

Both 4M & 4S classes were very proud to present their research to both students and parents on Canadian historical artifacts borrowed from the “Museum of Canadian History” in Montreal (teacher borrowing program). 🇨🇦🍁🎖️🥫🪏

They showcased their learning by presenting their research while practicing public speaking to many of the Gateway grades & classes, as well as parents & grandparents.

Both teachers were very proud of the students for their work preparing & presenting! ⭐️

What is Dyslexia?
It is a difference in learning & in the ways the brain handles information. 🧠

Someone with dyslexia may have a harder time showing their ideas & thoughts in typical ways like writing or during tests. 📝

Today Gateway wore RED to Mark it Read✔️ for dyslexia.

Often recognition & diagnosis comes around grade 3. So gr8 student Abby & her mom Natalie came to present to 3C & 3W. Thank you both! ♥️

There was also a teacher draw based on a skill testing question which Mrs Parsons won‼️

We have a new MS option this year: Drama Set Production 7/8. 🎭

This week Mrs Carruthers had students choose to make a headpiece or accessory that is character or theme based, OR they could make a mask.

There are flower bands, mushroom set pieces, an “Among Us” mask, and a headpiece based on a character from a favorite show.
Very cool creations! 🎨✂️🖍️

This past week our high school student body kicked off “Thrive”. 🎉

Thursday was the initial “Thrive Thursday”: an opportunity for spiritual formation for those who wish to attend during the lunch hour (this one came with delicious COOP cinnamon buns!).

On Friday was the initial “Thrive Chapel”: this is a Reach 1 expectation for all Grade 9-12 students as an opportunity to grow in their faith through engaging worship & biblical teaching, and encourages students to explore our guiding question this year,
"How now shall I live?". ♥️

The Reach 2 expectation for all gr10-12 students is their “Christian Studies” service based groups providing opportunity for each student to live out their faith each day in the service of others in our community; living as Jesus did. ✝️

Special thank you to Pastor Michael Dyck of Sylvan Lake AllianceCommunity Church for being our first guest speaker for our Thrive Chapel. 💙
