Gaitway High School is the first of its kind in the country! This school operates in a nontraditional setting where students with emotional and educational needs are integrated into the daily workings of a nationally recognized therapeutic riding center. Students receive a comprehensive educational program with a full complement of academic courses and vocational education. They also benefit from the support of low teacher-to-student ratios, emotional wellness initiatives and an experiential learning curriculum. Gaitway School is a collaborative effort of Fieldstone Farm TRC and the ESC of the Western Reserve.
Gaitway High School exists for high school students who thrive best in a non-traditional environment with support from caring, experienced professionals. Gaitway High School offers connection to the natural environment, the opportunity to experience a relationship with horses and the setting to allow experimental application of classroom theory. Gaitway High School is devoted to each student's personal success.
