Gateway Science Academy, awarded over $1,655,000, is creating 210 new seats for students in grades 7 through 12, with plans to establish a cutting-edge multimedia center.
“We’re thinking backward from the skills our students need when they graduate to ensure that they’re ready for life, technology, and career opportunities,” said Engin Blackstone, Superintendent of GSA. “This investment will enable us to create a multimedia classroom and robotics space, ultimately impacting student learning outcomes. We’re using these funds to create programs that offer essential life skills to prepare our students for future success.”
GSA’s focus on technology will not only provide students with hands-on experience but also support English Language Learners (ELL) and other students who need tailored life skills training. “Our students, especially ELL learners, will have multiple opportunities to interact with the English language, accelerating their readiness for future career paths,” Blackstone added.
