Due to the advancement of this program, CGC does not provide accommodations related to behavioral supports. Majority of our teachers are not certified in this area of specialized learning.

CGC does work with students who have been diagnosed with dyslexia and or ADHD on a case-by-case basis. All students are expected to achieve all academic expectations and metrics similar to their peers. We strongly encourage students with learning disabilities to apply so that we can review your student’s case for consideration.

Students WILL NOT be placed with uncertified personnel. It is the goal and expectation that ALL students are enrolled under highly effective, highly trained, certified, and exemplar collegiate instructors.

Private tours outside of orientation can be set up by appointment only. Please email administration at info@1gate1world.org to receive the online sign-up link. Tours are unavailable during holiday breaks. Tours are available during the Summer.

We serve grades 6-12.

We do not accept 11th-12th grade transfer applications. Our curriculum is a collegiate scale and strategically designed for students in high school to obtain DP college credits.

Due to the specific career offering from 9-12, students must be enrolled in CGC as a Freshman or Sophomore to accomplish maximum college credits possible and certifications that are available through trade programs.

All CGC instructors are required to be certified with at least 2 years of teaching on record. Our teachers also have to have an EXCEEDS EXPECTATION rating on their previous or current evaluation.

CGC standards are not only high for our students, but standards are high for our staff. This is what makes CGC a top tier campus for students.

CGC does not have a traditional grading scale. Please refer to the Collegian Handbook in the “Academics” section.

CGC promotes technological advancement, however, we challenge out students in their learning and their own critical thinking. Our assignments are limited technology and promotes hand-to-paper submissions 70% of the time and computer assignments 30% of the time. Technology tools are used strategically and ethically.

AI is restricted from use as a primary tool in electronic submissions. The use of AI is used for instructional purposes only. Any student that is investigated and found academically dishonest in using AI are held to the following accountability metrics:

• 1st infraction - Academic Probation

• 2nd infraction - Academic Suspension

• 3rd infraction - Academic Expulsion

Each occurrence results in an automatic “0” for a grade without approval of a second attempt on the assignment.

More details are located in the Collegiate Handbook.
