Gateway's Total Home Education program is designed for Christian parents/guardians to teach their own children in the home. For those who wish to enroll in Gateway's Total Home Education Program, it will be necessary to complete an application at the beginning of each school year. Those who have been registered for less than two years should also fill out an Initiation Form. Gateway does not do online registration, but you may request an information packet that includes enrollment forms by emailing us at Gateway_@bellsouth.net.

How Much Does it Cost?:

Gateway's Total Home Education Program registration is done on an offering basis. Suggested offering is $50 for one student and $20 for each additional student per year. Gateway Total Home Education Program does not provide books or teaching materials. Our program is designed to allow parents/guardians to choose their own teaching materials. Typically, parents can obtain books and teaching materials for one student for about $500 per year in addition to registration with Gateway. Visit our Sources page for more information on choosing materials.

Filling Out an Application

Educational Plan: About 10% of the applications that we receive at Gateway are sent back to the family due to lack of an educational plan. Please be aware that you must choose your materials for teaching before you register with Gateway. This information must be listed on the application or on a page attached to the application. Church Attendance: Because Gateway is a private, Christian school, we require our teachers (a.k.a. parent/guardians) to be Christian and to meet together with other members of the body of Christ on a regular basis. Please see our Church Attendance Letter here. Educational Background: Fill out this section with the information for the enrolling parents/guardians. Read relevant state laws and Constitution to be aware of limitations/responsibilities. You can read information on relevant TN laws and Constitution here.
