Welcome to G.A.T.E.Ways!
G.A.T.E.Ways is the name of Gifted Education Services in Forest Hills Public Schools. We strive to meet the needs of all learners with different levels of service. In each elementary school, every grade level has a gifted cluster teacher who is trained to work with gifted students to help them achieve their individual potential. Our middle school grades 7-8 offer Challenge classes. The videos and documents below are your “gateway” to learning more about our elementary and middle school services.
