About acGATEWAY
2024 acGateway is open to CURRENT 天美传媒 Public School students in grades 3-12. It is an intensive summer arts opportunity for your child. acGATEWAY is designed to serve students who excel in the visual and performing arts. The program offers theater, creative writing, dance, music, and visual arts. Creative writing is only open to middle and high school students.
Students will spend 12 (elementary) & 15 (middle) days of their summer, Monday through Friday, completely immersed in their arts area. Middle/High performing arts students will also have the opportunity to participate in a musical theater “Production” as well. At the end of the program, performing arts students will present their work in a showcase on stage, and visual arts students will have their artwork set up gallery-style for all to see.

Students who have completed grades 8-11 will receive one honors fine arts credit for their work in acGateway. This credit can only be awarded once.
