School Partnerships

Welcome to Sha’arim + Gateways Partner Schools!

We believe every child in our community should have the chance to experience the joys of a meaningful Jewish education.

That’s why we’re here – to make sure all Jewish students get the support they need. Sha’arim + Gateways provides a unique service by supporting the education of Jewish children with individual learning needs in their own school environment. Starting in Preschool, all the way through 12th grade, we bring our expertise right into their own schools, making sure your students have the best opportunities to learn and grow, both socially and academically.

Our mission is to help Jewish schools be amazing places for all Jewish kids.
