Gateway College and Career Academy
Gateway College and Career Academy (GCCA) is an early college high school that operates under a countywide charter, meaning that the benefits of the school’s existence cross school district lines and reach throughout Riverside County. As such, GCCA is authorized by the Riverside County Board of Education. GCCA operates on the campus of Riverside City College (4800 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, CA) and students attend from the various school district areas throughout the region.
GCCA implements the Essential Elements and Core Commitments of Gateway to College that are critical to the program model. Along with the core Gateway to College elements, the Charter School has implemented program variations to better meet the needs of students in our local communities. GCCA students may enter into one of several program statuses based on student need, academic progress, and enrollment timing.
