THE EVOLUTION OF GATEWAY

Madison Avenue

14th Street

West 61st Street

Welcome to The Gateway School’s renovated schoolhouse! Our new look is cheerful, calm, and contemporary, and our facility comfortably houses our larger enrollment and expanded programming. In 2019, The Gateway School completed the final phase of its 2014 strategic plan: the renovation of its premises. Our schoolhouse was specifically designed and equipped to support Gateway’s specialized programming. Currently serving slightly more than 200 students, parents drop off and pick up their children in a street level Lobby into which we also welcome visitors. Aptly named ‘Grandstand’ in honor of a Gateway tradition, a new Auditorium serves as a classroom for Grandstand and Musical Theater, and community space for school lectures and events. Long a feature of our program, the Visual Arts has multiple options for displaying student work and an acoustically designed classroom is now dedicated to Music. Students enjoy a full cafeteria experience in the Great Room/Dining Hall, the home for Gateway’s new lunch program. In addition to new classrooms and offices on our Plaza Level, we updated classrooms and offices, created new Science Labs, and consolidated the Middle School on the 5th floor around a Commons complete with social space for students and a Teacher Workroom. We encourage you to check out a virtual reality tour of all the new spaces now live on Gateway’s website! In this issue of The Gateway Newsletter, we honor the accomplishments of our school’s leaders past and present. They are five key visionaries: Carolyn Salzman, Gateway’s current Head of School, along with Gateway’s founders, Claire Flom and Elizabeth Freidus, a former Head of School, Davida Sherwood, and our former Educational Director, Toby Pulanco. We have commemorated their leadership by naming our new hallways for each of them.
