Providence’s Gately Academy Alternative Middle School Adds New Fourth Grade Class

July 30, 2009

PORTLAND, Ore. — Providence’s Gately Academy is a highly creative and focused school for students in grades four to eight with learning disabilities or attention deficit disorders. After researching the needs of the community, Gately will add a blended fourth/fifth classroom beginning fall 2009. Tuition is based on the academic year and is pro-rated for mid-year admissions.

By maintaining small class sizes and multi-sensory instruction, Gately provides a rich learning environment. Students learn strategies and skills that increase their academic performance, focus, and communication. Consequently, students gain confidence as learners and flourish in a community of supportive teachers and peers.

Small class sizes—one teacher per nine students—allow individualized assistance and tailored lessons that build on the strengths and creative interests of each student. In the course of daily lessons, students develop effective strategies that help them become successful learners.

Gately offers reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, science, art, fitness, social thinking, organizational skills, keyboarding, a wide variety of enrichment courses, educational/cultural field trips and community service in which students integrate classroom learning with community volunteering.
