Student Conventions - Gateway Christian School

A.C.E. Regional and

International Student Conventions

The Student Conventions organized by Accelerated Christian Education are life-changing events. The amount of character and perseverence that is built through preparation and participation, the assembling of students from around the state and around the world, the influence of Godly speakers, and the level of competition are too difficult to describe. Over 140 events are available for entry and range from Bible memory to photography to sewing and also include music and drama performances and sports events. From past experience we know that God works in our student's hearts and lives as they are involved in these conventions. For this reason, the Mid-Atlantic Regional and the International Student conventions are an integrated part of our Junior High and Senior High academic involvement.
