Students must take a placement test called, “Accuplacer” and score “College Ready.” The program is open to all 9th – 12th grade students. Students will be admitted into the program twice per school year—once for Fall Semester and once for Spring Semester.
Benefits of GATE Academy
Students will take two Chatfield College classes a few days per week. Students will be dismissed from Chatfield College on those days. On the other days per week, they will take their high school courses on the East Campus located at 2601 Melrose Avenue Cincinnati, OH 45206.
