Welcome to the Rosedale GATE page!
The Rosedale Union School District’s GATE program was established to meet the needs of Rosedale students with exceptionally high intellectual ability and academic achievement. We believe that the innate abilities of gifted students must be developed and nurtured through participation in an exciting and challenging program of differentiated instruction centered on the core curriculum and the individual needs of each student.
