What do families say about Gateway Christian School?
Gateway Christian School is a Christ-centered school in Mount Dora, Florida. Families here describe a small, family-like community where children are known by name, feel safe, receive one-on-one attention from teachers, and are taught a faith that shapes how they treat one another.
“I like GCS because everyone that works there is so inviting. They love our children and the learning environment is engaging. The first day we visited the school, my children didn’t want to leave. Then and there we made the decision that GCS was the one.”

On safety
“We chose GCS because of the small family-like environment. My children receive lots of one-on-one with teachers in a safe Christian environment.”
On values
“GCS has felt like an extension of what we are teaching our children at home in regard to morals and values. We know our children are loved and taken care of by all the staff when they are there.”
On belonging
“I want future students to know that you do not have to worry about your first day here and having no friends, because you will have friends on the first day. They teach us about Jesus here, and how He showed us how to treat each other.”
On safety
“It is a lot of fun and there is no bullying. The teachers help you get your grades up.”
On faith
“When I first started, I didn’t understand much about the true God but I now know about Him and I really want to stay at this school.”
