Gateway Academy, located in Utah, closed its doors to outside visitors when the pandemic hit in 2020 for health and safety reasons.  It is exciting to announce that full vaccinated families, referring professionals like Education Consultants are welcome back on campus.  For now, there are continued safety protocols staff and visitors are still asked to be fully masked indoors in order to keep Gateway Academy’s unvaccinated students safe. “Closing the doors to the family visits was by far the hardest part of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Julie Barbero, LCSW, Clinical Director and Co-Owner.  The school is finally emerging from the self-imposed hibernation that took place in an effort to protect students and staff from COVID-19.  Gateway’s leadership team is happy to announce their doors are open and visitors are welcome back to campus.

During the pandemic, Gateway Academy worked incredibly hard to bring on-site testing and the life-saving  COVID-19 vaccine to their school. This has not only kept their community safe but has also brought some form of normalcy back into the students’ and entire community’s lives. During the pandemic, Gateway Academy worked incredibly hard to bring on-site testing and the life-saving COVID-19 vaccine to their school.

Creating dedicated outdoor spaces where unmasked visitors can spend time with their loved ones at a safe social distance, was helpful too. 

To accommodate schedules, the Gateway Academy team continues to offer both virtual and on-campus visits.  Please feel free to contact the Admissions Director, Laura Kemper, to schedule a tour.
