GATE College System was designed to leverage the Gestalt Theory of Learning. When first generation students are able to see the "big picture" of what's needed to go through the "gate" to college affordably, they are more likely to aspire and persist. This brief presentation explores the components of Gestalt and shows an overview of GATE's college prep curriculum, which is available for school enrollment to support objectives at scale without needing as many live counselors.
