We Are Accepting Applications
 
Gateway Science Academy of St. Louis is currently accepting new enrollment applications for the 2024-2024 and 2025-2026 school years for PreK -12. Please see the application links on this page. The GSA enrollment lottery was conducted online via Zoom on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at 10:00 AM. All applications submitted by today's date have been accepted for enrollment. We will send letters to parents explaining the next steps in the enrollment process. At this time, applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

GSA accepts applications from all over the city of St. Louis. However, priority in the enrollment process will be given to the children of staff members, followed by siblings, then residents within the geographical boundaries of the school (priority zip codes: 63109, 63110, 63139, and a small portion of 63143 within city limits), and finally, anyone living within the city limits.
