Our Mission
Gateway to College @ Laney empowers youth who have dropped out of high school to earn a diploma and college credit in a supportive environment.
Benefits
The program promotes student success and readiness by grouping students into learning communities for their first term, offering intensive literacy development, maintaining rigorous academic standards, and providing individualized support. After successfully completing the initial Foundation term, students will transition to taking classes with the general student population. Students will focus their studies in a “pathway” or major that is aligned with high school completion requirements and college degree or certificate requirements. To keep students on the right track to success, one-on-one support is provided by dedicated GTC counselors. All GTC classes are college classes, and the program is fully integrated with Laney College.
