“I know that my children are well educated, loved, spiritually growing, and building relationships. They get expansive biblical knowledge and quality Christ-centered education that exceeds state standards.”

About Us
King’s Gate is a family of families, the Board of Directors, administration, and faculty following the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) statement of faith and partnering together to provide intentional and strategic hands-on learning experiences for our students.
Since 1977, we have encouraged in each child a love of GOD, a positive view of self, creative self-expression, an attitude of cooperation and sharing, and an expanding knowledge of the world in which we live.
Empowered for Purpose
King’s Gate empowers students to impact the world through an eternal, Kingdom perspective. Experiential learning supports our students’ innate drives for purpose and competence while encouraging them to cooperate with GOD’s design.
We fan into flames the gifts within our students, help them cooperate with GOD's perfect design, and then launch them into their GOD-given purpose.
Educating with purpose
- We believe all students deserve Christian education, regardless of family belief or lifestyle.
- We accept typical learners and embrace students with life and learning challenges.
- We provide relational classrooms so that each student’s ideas are valued and their individual needs are met in an atmosphere that develops trust and belonging.
- We respect all students and their capacity to find meaning and purpose through their experiences.
- We foster each student’s competence, autonomy, and initiative through developmentally appropriate expectations, Kingdom Education curriculum and hands-on activities.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS®
The Great Expectations® infrastructure promotes improved self-esteem, attendance, discipline, and parent participation – all of which result in improved academic achievement. Rather than focusing on what to teach, GE methodology focuses on the learning climate and the how of teaching.
GE includes eight expectations for living. While it was created for public schools, we incorporated Scripture into our expectations for living. King’s Gate teachers and staff provide varied learning opportunities that help students achieve excellence by guiding them to adhere to the following expectations:
