Gaitway High School

Gaitway High School is the first of its kind in the country! Gaitway 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, vocational education, and integrated student supports. They also benefit from the support of a low teacher-to-student ratio and an experiential learning curriculum. Gaitway High School is a collaborative effort of Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center 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 and experienced professionals. Gaitway High School also offers a connection to the natural environment, the opportunity to experience a connection with horses, and a peaceful 45 acre setting to allow experimental application of classroom theory. Gaitway High School is devoted to each student's personal success.
