Gatewood has been welcoming students in West Seattle since 1910 when the doors first opened to 12 students. As of 2023, Gatewood serves approximately 365 students in grades Kindergarten – 5th grade, with so much to celebrate! Gatewood strives to be a joyful environment where learning resonates with laughter, learning, and creativity. Staff work to empower students to embrace life, learning, and challenges, while fostering a deep respect for each other. The curriculum and instruction focuses on students becoming advocates for social justice, stewards of the planet, and compassionate global citizens. All students are encouraged to explore the depths of knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving, whether through literary pursuits, scientific inquiry, or artistic expression. Above all, Gatewood strives to be a sanctuary where everyone feels secure, valued, supported, and successful. <\/p>\n

Our school community prides itself on fostering a warm and inclusive environment that embraces diversity in all of its forms. Our dedicated teachers collaborate regularly to provide their students with inclusive classroom communities, differentiated instruction, and joy. Our students’ families work closely with the school community to support our students in their classrooms, in their fieldwork, and in the community. Our students themselves demonstrate The Gator Way (being safe, kind, and responsible) in their daily interactions and consistently demonstrate academic excellence. <\/p>\n
