Where Student Potential
Meets Great Teaching
We are a proposed 6-8 public charter school in Nashville enrolling students for the 27-28 school year. The Gate School cultivates student independence, effective communication, and academic excellence through outstanding teaching and purposeful use of technology, preparing every student for the high school and career of their choice.
WHAT MAKES THE GATE SCHOOL UNIQUE
Teaching First
At The Gate School, we believe in the power of great teaching—it is what sets our school apart. Every adult, from the principal to instructional leaders, teaches students each day. This keeps leaders connected to the classroom and builds a culture of collaboration, innovation, and respect for excellent instruction. We know that great teachers change lives, and we are committed to ensuring every student experiences the very best every day.

Independence and Communication
We believe great learning begins with effective communication and independence. Every day, students gather around Harkness tables to discuss, debate, and collaborate, learning to express their ideas with clarity and confidence while listening to and building on the perspectives of others. Through this practice, and by taking ownership of their learning, students grow as independent thinkers and strong communicators prepared for the challenges ahead.

Artificial Intelligence
Ethic
At The Gate School, we embrace AI as a powerful tool for learning, research, and exploration. Guided by an ethic of responsible use, our educators use AI to strengthen instruction and provide personalized feedback, while students harness it to inquire, discover, and go deeper. As AI continues to evolve, we prepare our students to use it thoughtfully and effectively—equipping them to thrive in an AI-driven world.
