Welcome to Gateway Academy in Surfside, South Carolina, one of the fastest growing communities in the country! 

At Gateway Academy we take advantage of the wonderful South Carolina weather with lots of outdoor activities on our large playgrounds.  We have three playgrounds to ensure our children are using age-appropriate equipment.  You will have to stop by to see them!

Our amazing 10,000 square foot school features 9 custom designed classrooms where children have ample space for learning centers, yet still can maintain a cozy atmosphere that feels like home.  Our curriculum program, Creative Kaleidoscope of Learning, features
Zoo-Phonics®,  Math Their Way, Baby Signs®, Country and Culture, Spanish, and monthly themes around which we plan our Art, Science and Sensory, and Literature programming. 

Nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack are prepared provided, at no additional cost, by our wonderful cook.

We offer care and programs for children ages six weeks through twelve years old and offer free transportation from area schools for children kindergarten - 5th grade.  We offer programs for
school- age children during school breaks or teacher work days.  Our school is only closed on 7 holidays per year.

Our lead teachers have their SC credentials and many have their Associates or Bachelors degree.

On behalf of all our wonderful teachers I invite you to stop by our school - we would enjoy meeting you and your family!
