Our academic, social skill emphasis approach prepares your child not only with knowledge, but skills that will help the child to cope in everyday situations. Gateway Academy integrates social skills training into the curriculum, on a daily, hourly, and by the minute basis. Teaching children to be able to communicate, negotiate, and express themselves clearly, to make good choices and to be able to ask for what they want is one of our main focuses. Children's future success and well-being rests on how effectively they can navigate through the many situations they will be faced with throughout life. Within Gateway Academy you will discover a growing group of active, happy babies, toddlers and children who are learning daily how to make friends and to be a friend.

Catalyst Academy Charter School is Pittsburgh's first new charter school in over 5 years. Our mission is to provide a world-class education that prepares each of our scholars for college, career, and life in an educational environment that embodies our core values: Belong. Grow. Achieve. Catalyst opened for K-1st Grade in the fall of 2020, one of the few public schools in Pittsburgh to offer in person learning five days a week during the pandemic. In 2021-22, Catalyst Academy will have grades K-2, and will expand a grade per year to eventually serve K-8. Catalyst Academy was founded to eliminate education achievement and opportunity gaps for under-served neighborhoods in the East End of Pittsburgh and beyond.
