The Gateway to Higher Education program is a comprehensive four-year high school program with specially designed enrichments and supports. Its principal goal is to increase the number of minority students who will be prepared to enter training for high-level professional careers, especially in medicine and science. The program was established in September 1986 to demonstrate that minority students who perform at least at grade level can begin a rigorous curriculum in the ninth grade and achieve outstanding results, provided that the necessary support systems are in place. For 1990-91, 750 students are enrolled in Gateway programs at five New York City public high schools, and the first 119 students graduated in June 1990. The graduates have demonstrated significant achievement compared with that of their peers, as measured by standardized tests and the graduates' participation in research mentorships and college acceptances. In order to expand on its initial success, the program has increased its scope of activity to include over 400 students at the junior high school level.
高等教育之门项目是一个综合性的四年制高中项目，配备了专门设计的强化课程和支持措施。其主要目标是增加准备进入高级职业培训的少数族裔学生数量，尤其是在医学和科学领域。该项目于1986年9月设立，旨在证明至少达到年级水平的少数族裔学生，只要有必要的支持体系，就能在九年级开始严格的课程学习并取得优异成绩。1990 - 1991年，纽约市五所公立高中的750名学生参加了高等教育之门项目，首批119名学生于1990年6月毕业。通过标准化测试以及毕业生参与研究指导和大学录取情况衡量，这些毕业生与同龄人相比取得了显著成绩。为了扩大其最初的成功，该项目已扩大活动范围，将初中阶段的400多名学生纳入其中。
